That is why blood samples are taken at pathology labs to determine the
amount of vitamins or cell counts in our bodies. Clinical biochemistry uses
biochemical methods to study diseases using body fluids such as urine, blood
samples, etc.
Biochemistry is focused on learning such dynamic cycles and their products, which drive all living beings. It highlights how different branches of
Biology converge to develop an understanding of chemistry in everyday
life processes and biomolecules. To sum it up, Biochemistry is the scientific
study of the chemistry of living things. It looks at the chemical structure or
molecular basis of life. It plays an important part in the growth of biotechnology and medicine.

chemistry Honours degree. The students are taken after 10+2 science (both
medical and non-medical). They are selected on the basis of the entrance
examination. The selection to post graduate course is also through an
entrance test. Aspiring candidates are advised to be thorough with subjectspecific knowledge.

India?
A. Biochemistry is central/core subject for all life science departments. It
has applications in the areas of Medicine, Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology,
Biomedical Research among many others.
Q. What are the recent research interests?
A. The field of Biochemistry has evoked research in the field of Neuroscience, Cell Signalling, Immunology, Molecular Biology, Nutrition recently.

terms of research?
A. Biotechnology is more applied in nature, whereas Biochemistry is more
basic science. In my opinion person who is a trained Biochemist can become
a Biotechnologist, whereas the reverse is not true.
