生物化学是对与生物体相关的化学过程的研究。生物化学家使用生物学的概念
Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes associated with living organisms. Biochemists use concepts of biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, microbiology and genetics to unravel the complex puzzles of life. Many of our undergraduates become involved in research through the Memorial University Career Experience Program (MUCEP), Student Undergraduate Research Award (SURA) and other summer research programs. Undergraduates carry out research in areas such as, but not limited to, development of sea urchins and zebrafish, muscle biochemistry, lipid composition and molecular dynamics. Chemistry is the science of the composition, structure, properties and reactions of matter, especially of atomic and molecular systems. the synthesis of new drugs, the production of novel materials and the monitoring and improvement of our environment all involve the science of chemistry.
