医学生物化学着眼于与生物在医学上的应用有关的结构和功能，涵盖了生物化学的主题，但重点关注与人类健康和疾病有关的领域。通过蛋白质折叠疾病，肿瘤学和免疫学等模块，您将对医学中生物化学的含义以及研究和实验技能产生深刻的了解。本课程将为您提供广泛的知识，从基本原理到生物化学的最新前沿发展，并发展分析技能以理解生物化学数据。您将通过实践，教程和讲座相结合的方式，向领先的科学家学习，为您提供有关医学或与医学相关的职业的全面培训。<br> <br>在本课程中，您将有机会申请在国外度过的时光，通常作为额外的学年。该大学与
Medical biochemistry studies the structure and function of living things in relation to their application to medicine, covering biochemistry topics but with a focus on areas relating to human health and disease. You could go on to have a huge medical and societal impact by both improving our fundamental understanding of complex diseases such as cancer, but also by developing effective medicines and technologies to facilitate their discovery. You'll be taught by our internationally renowned academics, instilling skills in you that are highly valued by employers. You'll gain detailed scientific knowledge through topics in protein folding disease, oncology and immunology. Our optional integrated Masters (MBiol) offers you an additional year of specialist training, to study advanced research topics and undertake your own extended research project.<br><br>As well as providing you with subject-specific knowledge, we aim to equip you with the best possible skills for a variety of future careers. All of our degrees have a strong emphasis on practical based teaching, small group teaching, online learning and problem solving. Throughout the degree, you'll gain a wide range of transferable skills which are highly valued by employers. Supported by the faculty student opportunity team, Leeds for Life scheme and your academic and personal tutor, you'll be ideally placed to focus on your personal development and make the most of your time at university. Similar to biochemistry graduates, medical biochemistry graduates find employment in the pharmaceutical and fine chemicals industries, where the development of new, green biocatalysts and the continuing expansion in nanotechnology, synthetic biology and tissue engineering promises excellent and exciting opportunities for many years to come. A Leeds biochemistry degree is respected by employers from many different walks of life, particularly given the analytical, technical and numeric properties of the course. Our courses enable graduates to obtain employment in scientific and non-scientific careers alike. We emphasise the development of transferable graduate skills throughout our courses.<br><br>Optional Study abroad and Optional Work placement Available
