Biochemistry & Molecular Biology

Research Area

Biochemists and molecular biologists study the chemical realm inside cells to understand the genetic and molecular bases of cellular processes.

Biochemistry and molecular biology together have grown to encompass virtually the entire spectrum of science, from physics and chemistry to biology and medicine. Researchers in these fields study life on every level, from individual molecules to mammals.
