Biochemistry

Biochemistry at Bristol focuses on the biomolecular processes that underpin human health and disease, and our research studies extend from fundamental single-molecule studies of biomolecules through to whole cell imaging.

To study biochemistry is to gain an insight into the very molecules which make life possible. Each of our cells contains a fascinatingly complex set of structures and carefully regulated reactions. They keep us alive and are a big part of who we are. Biochemists strive to understand how these systems operate individually and together, in health and disease.
