Hello

Biotechnology companies employ biochemists in research quality control, clinical research, manufacturing, and information systems with applications to the environment, energy, human healthcare, agriculture, and animal health. Some biochemists work in hospitals.

The potential job profiles for a Biochemistry graduate/ postgraduate include Analytical chemist, Biomedical scientist, Healthcare scientist, clinical biochemist, Clinical research associate, Forensic scientist, Physician associate, Research scientist (life sciences), Scientific laboratory technician, Toxicologist, etc.

Biochemistry is applied to medicine, dentistry, and veterinary medicine. In foodscience, biochemists research ways to develop abundant and inexpensive sources of nutritious foods, determine the chemical composition of foods, develop methods to extract nutrients from waste products, or invent ways to prolong the shelf life food products.

In agriculture, biochemists study the interaction of herbicides with plants. They examine the structure-activity relationships of compounds, determine their ability to inhibit growth, and evaluate the toxicological effects on surrounding life.
