Overview

The Biochemistry programme is offered by University of Mary Hardin Baylor. Biochemists use chemical knowledge and techniques to help understand and solve biological problems.

Through biochemistry, researchers have developed drugs to treat conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Parkinson’s disease, and schizophrenia. Biochemists have discovered the mechanisms behind many serious diseases, such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, HIV and Sickle Cell Disease.

Key Facts

Since biochemistry is the study of life at the molecular level, it provides the foundations for other scientific disciplines, such as genetics, forensics, microbiology, plant science, and medicine.

Internships give majors opportunities to work in interesting settings such as the Baylor Scott & White Clinic Cyto-Genetics Lab and the U.S. Department of Agriculture lab in Temple.

Chemistry labs are fitted with outstanding instrumentation: Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy, Colorimetry, Fluorescence Spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Gas Chromatography, High Performance Liquid Chromatography, Magnetic Susceptibility, Mass Spectroscopy, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, pH meters, Potentiostat, and Ultraviolet-Visible Spectrophotometers give majors opportunities to work with instruments they will encounter in the field after graduation.
