Anyone who has ever imagined making a more effective medicine, discovering a cure for a disease, or finding a way to convert toxic waste into a valuable source of energy may want to consider a career in biochemistry.  Biochemists tackle fundamental questions.  They may study subjects such as the structure of enzymes, the transfer of genetic information, or photosynthesis. They conduct research into the complex chemistry of living systems that provides a springboard for practical advances in medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. Biochemists may work in industry or for government agencies, pharmaceutical houses, hospitals, universities, or private research labs.  To learn more, contact the department advisor, Gabriela Jakubowska, or call 292-1204 for an appointment.
