A PhD in Biochemistry is an advanced research degree focused on understanding the molecular and chemical processes that sustain life. The program emphasizes independent research, critical thinking, and innovation in areas such as molecular biology, enzymology, metabolism, genetics, and structural biology.
Students work on original research projects under expert supervision, often involving techniques like protein analysis, gene expression studies, bioinformatics, and biochemical assay development. Their work culminates in a doctoral dissertation that contributes new knowledge to the field.
