Biochemistry as a course focuses on the chemical processes and substances that occur within living organisms. It combines principles of biology and chemistry to study the structure and function of biomolecules such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Students learn about metabolic pathways, enzyme functions, genetic coding, and molecular biology techniques. This course prepares graduates for careers in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, research, and forensic science, or for further studies in medicine and related fields.
