生物化学处于了解分子如何控制和影响生命的最前沿，对这些概念的理解使生物化学家能够回答生命的基本问题，并有助于解决关键的生物学问题，例如设计用于治疗癌症甚至可清洗细菌的药物漏油。通过您在Reading上的演讲，您将探索和讨论这些生化概念，从而深入了解该主题。您将有机会以分层的方式研究您的主题，其中您将在第一年专注于生物化学的分子和细胞概念，然后在第二年讨论这些生化过程的器官和生物效应。 3您将学习生物化学最前沿的主题，从前沿研究到人类疾病和结构生物学。在三年级期间，您还将参加一个为期11周的研究项目，您将利
Learn about the molecular foundations of life itself with our BSc Biochemistry course.<br><br>Molecules are at the centre of all life from the smallest virus to the largest animal. Biochemists seek to understand how molecular processes control life at various levels, how do molecules make cells work, how do these cells coordinate in an organ and finally, how do these organs signal and work together for life to function Biochemistry is at the forefront of understanding how molecules control and affect life, and an appreciation of these concepts allows biochemists to answer life's fundamental questions and contribute to resolving critical biological problems such as designing drugs to treat cancer or even bacteria that can clean up an oil spill.<br><br>Through your lectures at Reading you will explore and discuss these biochemical concepts accumulating in an in-depth understanding of the subject. You will have the opportunity to study your subject in a layered approach where you will focus on the molecular and cellular concepts of biochemistry in Year 1, followed by discussions of the organ and organism effects of these biochemical processes in Year 2. Finally, in Year 3 you will study topics at the forefront of biochemistry from cutting-edge research to human disease and structural biology. During Year 3, you will also take part in an 11-week research project where you will draw on all your skills and knowledge to tackle a biochemical research question. We are currently in the process of applying for accreditation from the Royal Society of Biology to further enhance this course.
