Biochemist studies the chemical and physical principles of living organisms and biological processes to advance knowledge in medicine, agriculture, and environmental science. They conduct experiments to understand cellular and molecular functions, including metabolism, growth, heredity, protein and enzyme activity, and the effects of substances such as drugs, hormones, and foods. Their work involves analysing biological samples, developing new products or drugs, improving diagnostic methods, and applying biochemical knowledge to solve practical problems across healthcare, biotechnology, and industrial applications.
