Biochemistry is the study of living systems at a molecular level. Biochemists are interested in understanding the components that make up cells, how they are formed and how they interact to function.

This includes:

how molecular machines actually ‘work’
how drugs bind and inhibit their targets
how membranes and viruses interact
how cell signals are transmitted
In this programme, you will study the structure and function of macromolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids and carbohydrates, and biological systems from cell extracts to whole organisms.
