Biochemistry is that branch of science that combines two of its main subjects, Biology, and Chemistry. It is a laboratory-based science that explores the chemical process which is related to and within living things. It also studies the chemical and biological aspects of organisms. By using the knowledge they obtain from chemistry, aspirants then learn how to solve biological problems. This is a fairly new discipline that emerged around the beginning of the 20th century when scientists started exploring ways of combining subjects like chemistry, physiology, and biology to investigate the chemistry of living systems.

The importance of this subject has been recognised by people not only from the science stream but from other fields of life as well. The main topics that are taught under this discipline include metabolism, protein science, and molecular genetics. Students of Biochemistry will receive theoretical as well as practical knowledge that will enable them to solve problems like diseases, nutritional problems as well as deficiencies.
