Biochemistry Courses
Biochemistry is the study of the molecules and mechanisms essential to life. Biochemists strive to understand how living systems function at the molecular level, how cells build and maintain the chemical structures necessary for life, how cells respond and adapt to their environment, and how organisms obtain and use energy. Of particular interest is understanding the structure, function, and regulation of biomolecules as they relate to disease.
