Overview
How do cells behave? In what ways do dysfunctional molecular interactions result in diseases? How can we design molecules to cure those diseases? Biochemistry aims to help us answer these and other complex questions. At its core, it seeks to explain life at a molecular level and find solutions to complex health disorders. The discipline builds on knowledge and research from diverse fields like chemistry, biology, physiology, microbiology and immunology, statistics, and pharmacology, making it both a chemical science and life science.
