Why Study Biochemistry?
Biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes of living organisms—both those in the world around us and ourselves. A solid understanding of biochemistry will provide a better understanding of how your body works (whether that be in exercise, nutrition, or disease response) and give insight into the endless, fascinating examples of the beauty and complexity of the living world.
