Overview

Biochemisty and Molecular Biology is a subject studying the essence of life at molecular level. It has an extensive connection and crosstalk with the subject of physiology, pharmacology, pathology, immunology. Furthermore, it has a close association with clinical medicine and help to elucidate clinical pathogenesis at molecular level and solve clinical problem on disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment. In addition, the experimental technology of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is an important part of natural science. The progress of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology theory and experimental technology plays an important role in the development of life science.

Biochemistry is an important basic course of medicine. Through the study of this course, students are required to master the basic theory of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology including structure and function of biological macromolecules, metabolism and regulation of metabolism of organisms, transfer of genetic information and special topics on Molecular Medicine. In addition, students are required to master basic experimental skills and know new developments of the subject.
