MD Biochemistry

Doctor of Medicine in Biochemistry

MD Biochemistry or Doctor of Medicine in Biochemistry is a postgraduate Biochemistry course. The study of the structure, composition, and chemical interactions of chemicals in living systems is known as biochemistry. As scientists coupled biology with organic, inorganic, or physical chemistry, they began to examine themes such as how living creatures receive energy from food, the chemical basis of heredity, and what fundamental changes occur in illness. Medicine, dentistry, and veterinary medicine all use biochemistry.

Biochemists in food science investigate strategies to provide plentiful and low-cost sources of nutritious foods, assess the chemical makeup of foods, and devise techniques to extract nutrients from waste products or find ways to extend the shelf life of food goods. Herbicide interactions with plants are studied by biochemists in agriculture. They investigate chemical structure-activity connections, identify their capacity to limit development and assess the toxicological impacts on surrounding life. The Doctor of Medicine program in Biochemistry lasts three years.
