  • Degree in Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences
    imatge de la noticia

    Biochemistry is the science that studies the chemical reactions and interactions that take place in living organisms. It includes the study of the structure of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids and other cell molecules. This degree aims at providing students with the conceptual tools and techniques needed to understand and use, from a molecular point of view, the transformation processes that living beings undergo to carry out their functions, as well as the integrated regulation of these processes. Students will apply this knowledge to understand and resolve problems related to human health and illness.
