Biochemistry is the study of the molecules and mechanisms essential to life. An emphasis is placed on an understanding of the structure, function, and regulation of biomolecules as they relate to the molecular basis of disease. Training involves the application of state-of-the art approaches and equipment to the many diverse areas of modern biochemistry that includes molecular genetics, structural biology, signal transduction, and bioinformatics. The advance of biotechnology has created a number of career options for graduates of biochemistry programs in fields including business, agriculture and the environment.
