B.SC IN BIO-CHEMISTRY

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology are at the forefront of advances in animal and plant biology. Understanding how cells and organisms function at the molecular level is fascinating. Biochemists are now able to probe the structure and function of specific biomolecules, see in exquisite detail how individual proteins work, understand how metabolic pathways are regulated, decipher the human genome, analyse the expression of specific genes, identify the molecular defects in human diseases and much more. We are living through an explosion of biological knowledge, and Biochemistry and Biotechnology are at the very centre of that excitement.
