生物化学是探索生命有机体内基本化学过程的科学分支。生物化学研究涉及遗传学，微生物学，法医学和医学等多个学科的分子水平过程。由于这种广度，生物化学非常重要，并且在过去100年中该领域的进展令人st目。成为这个有趣的研究领域的一部分，这是一个激动人心的时刻。在Essex，我们专门研究生物分子的结构-功能关系，从而深入了解控制视力和细胞死亡的复杂细胞途径中发生的相互作用。我们还使用计算方法和生物信息学来补充我们的研究。
Biochemistry is the branch of science that explores the fundamental chemical processes within living organisms. Biochemistry considers molecular-level processes across a range of disciplines including genetics, microbiology, forensics and medicine. Because of this breadth, biochemistry is hugely important, and advances in this field over the past 100 years have been staggering. It's an exciting time to be part of this fascinating area of study.<br><br>At Essex, we specialise in structure-function relationships of biomolecules which offers insight into the interactions that occur in the complex cellular pathways that control vision and cell death. We also use computational approaches and bioinformatics to complement our research. On our BSc Biochemistry you study areas including: Molecular enzymology, Neurodegeneration, Structural biology<br><br><br>You graduate ready to move into a wide variety of industrial and public sector careers, from the NHS to pharmaceuticals, forensic science, health and safety, teaching.<br>Our students have gone on to work in a number of laboratory-based roles in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, and in hospitals, clinics and healthcare companies. Others have gone on to work in sales, publishing and management, while others still have chosen to enhance their career opportunities by studying for MSc or PhD degrees.<br>Biochemistry and biomedical science courses also provide the ideal background for entry onto postgraduate medicine programmes, and many of our graduates have obtained places at medical schools across the UK.
