Biochemists study the components and chemical reactions involved in the basic processes of life. Some research areas that biochemists are involved in include DNA and protein synthesis, the interactions of bacteria and viruses with cells, and the function and structure of substances such as insulin and hemoglobin.University of Nevada, Reno: What Does A Biochemist Do?

Biochemists work infields such as forensic science, agriculture and environmental science. They also work in medical fields such as pharmacology, biotechnology and disease research.UniXL: Biochemistry Jobs
