Biochemistry Anyone who has ever imagined making a more effective

Biochemistry Anyone who has ever imagined making a more effectiveColleges of the Arts & Sciences – Biological Sciences For more information, check these web sites: Biochemistry A nyone who has ever imagined making a more effective medicine, discovering a cure for a disease, or finding a way to convert toxic waste into a valuable source of energy may want to consider a career in biochemistry. The Department of Biochemistry at Ohio State offers excellent training in the chemical basis of life and insight into the chemistry of living systems.

The study of biochemistry provides a good background for further study or employment in many basic science disciplines. Many undergraduates in biochemistry go on to professional schools, especially medical schools. Biochemists look at how living organisms function at the molecular level. Biochemists may be teachers or they may be researchers who study such subjects as the structure of enzymes, the transfer of genetic information, or photosynthesis. Biochemists investigate how molecular structure determines biological function, how molecules recognize each other and how the dynamic chemical changes that occur in cells are orchestrated. In recent years, basic information gained in biochemical research has been applied with outstanding success to some of the fundamental problems of biology. Biochemists have found that many biochemical processes are shared by all life forms. Basic research into the complex chemistry of living systems provides a springboard for practical advances in medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. Pursuing Biochemistry at Ohio State High school students planning to major in biochemistry are advised to acquire a strong background in mathematics and science (biology, physics, and especially chemistry). Enriched, advanced, or honors courses, courses with an associated laboratory, and research experience are encouraged. Good written and oral communication skills are also important....
