Biochemistry explores living organisms at the molecular scale. Our doctoral candidates investigate multiple interrelated disciplines focused on comprehending and addressing human illnesses while enhancing overall wellness.

Some research teams examine human genetics, genome behavior, epigenetic modifications, and gene expression control, particularly RNA's regulatory functions. Additional groups concentrate on protein architecture, proteomics, and intracellular communication. Digital methods and bioinformatics are progressively merging with biochemical studies. Emerging technologies facilitate biological system engineering for scientific inquiry and industrial applications, marking the dawn of synthetic biology - encompassing genome modification, genetic alphabet expansion, novel metabolic route development, and even artificial lifeform design.
