Biochemistry
Understanding the structure, function and relationships between biological building blocks.
Biochemists conduct research and experimentation to expand our understanding of the intersection of biology and chemistry. This generally applies to studying the effects and refining the design of pharmaceutical drugs, hormones and nutritional supplements.
Applications in cellular agriculture
Sound knowledge of biochemistry is required for almost all aspects of cellular agriculture, including, but not limited to, media formulation, cell growth and differentiation, metabolite production and product characterisations and enhancements.
