Biochemistry (Including Placement Year)

University of Essex

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. 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.
