Medical Biosciences (Biochemistry)

About this course

Medical biosciences with a biochemistry specialism sits at the frontier where fundamental molecular science meets clinical medicine. Biochemistry is the chemistry of life, concerned with the molecules that make up living organisms and the reactions through which they function: proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates, enzymes, and the metabolic pathways that sustain biological systems. When this knowledge is applied in a medical context, it illuminates the molecular basis of disease, from the genetic mutations that drive cancer to the enzyme deficiencies that cause metabolic disorders, and points towards the development of treatments that target these mechanisms precisely. At the University of Leicester, this four-year MBiolSci programme combines a medically focused biochemistry education with a Masters-level fourth year, extending the depth and research focus of the degree beyond
