Biochemistry

About this course

Biochemistry is the chemistry of life, the science that investigates the molecular processes underlying biological systems. It asks how cells capture and use energy, how genetic information is stored and expressed as proteins, how enzymes catalyse the reactions that sustain life, and how molecular signals control development, immunity, and disease. These questions sit at the foundation of modern medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology, and the insights biochemistry has provided over the past century have transformed our ability to develop drugs, diagnose disease, engineer microorganisms for industrial purposes, and understand the molecular basis of heredity. At Middlesex University, this three-year programme includes a foundation year that provides the scientific grounding needed to enter the biochemistry degree proper, making the programme accessible to students who may not have the t
