Biochemistry and Biophysics

Biochemistry is the branch of science that deals with the chemical processes within and related to living organisms. It is a laboratory based science that deals with biology and chemistry. With the help of chemical knowledge and techniques, biochemists can understand and solve biological problems. It focuses on processes happening at a molecular level and focuses on what’s happening inside our cells, studying components like proteins, lipids and organelles. It covers a wide range of scientific disciplines, including genetics, microbiology, forensics, plant science and medicine.

Biophysics is an interdisciplinary science that uses approaches and methods traditionally used in physics to study biological phenomena. Biophysics covers all types of biological organization, from molecular to organismic and populations. Biophysical research shares significant overlap with biochemistry, molecularbiology, physicalchemistry, physiology, nanotechnology, bioengineering, computational biology, biomechanics, developmental biology and systems biology.
