    Biochemistry

    Biochemistry is the study of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids and the processes of these molecules in the body.

    As a rapidly developing and relatively new discipline within the sciences, biochemistry intersects with physiology, medicine, cell biology, genetics, and more.

    In recent years the pace of biochemical discovery has accelerated due to the profound transformation wrought by recombinant DNA technology.

    Biochemistry is quite possibly one of the most immediately useful bachelor's degrees in the sciences. Students may choose to enter the work force or pursue graduate degrees or professional training.
