Biochemistry - SUNY at Geneseo

Biochemistry from SUNY at Geneseo is a Campus Bachelor Chemistry degree that prepares you for a Science career. Biochemistry can be most simply defined as the study of life at the molecular level. Every process occurring within the living organism, from metabolism to muscle contraction to vision and even including our thought processes, happens as a result of a series of chemical reactions. All of these processes are of interest to the biochemist, who tries to answer such questions as: What is the chemistry which enables this process to occur? By what molecular mechanism is it controlled? What techniques can I develop to allow me to better understand this? The field of biochemistry accommodates people with a wide spectrum of interests, from those with a strong biological orientation to those who view themselves more as chemists. Biochemistry is a relatively young, rapidly growing, and exciting field of study. Genetic engineering, biotechnology, and immunology are just three of the areas in which biochemists are playing a major role.
