Biochemistry is the endeavour to understand life in molecular detail and sits at the heart of modern bioscience helping to tackle global challenges such as maintaining health in ageing populations, developing effective treatments to combat emerging diseases and antibiotic resistance, producing economic green biofuels and developing drought-tolerant crops.
You’ll learn how the structures of DNA and the ribosome were found, to understand the molecular mechanisms of diseases, and how DNA fingerprinting and highly effective protein-based medicines are produced.
You will be taught by experts at the forefront of their research field, and together we will develop the theoretical knowledge, practical, problem-solving and analytical skills that are critical to your development as a scientist. These subject-specific and transferable skills are highly valued by employers.
You’ll develop a deep understanding of life at the molecular and cellular level covering topics including biochemical reaction mechanisms, genetic engineering, protein structure and function, biophysical methods and biochemistry of health and disease.
Our optional integrated Masters (MBiol) offers you an additional year of specialist training, to study advanced research topics and undertake your own extended research project.
