生物化学是理解现代生物学最广泛有用的学科之一。生物化学领域涉及到广泛的生物系统中发生的复杂化学反应; 为医药，兽医，农业等方面的实际进展奠定基础。生物化学可以与许多其他科学——化学，遗传学，微生物学，免疫学，药理学，细胞生物学相结合——提供个性化定制和全面的研究课程，作为本科生职业的一部分。
Biochemistry is one of the most broadly useful disciplines for understanding modern biology. The field of biochemistry is concerned with the complex chemical reactions that occur in wide varieties of biological systems; as a result, it provides the basis for practical advances in medicine, veterinary medicine, agriculture. Biochemistry can be combined with numerous other sciences – chemistry, genetics, microbiology, immunology, pharmacology, cell biology and many others – to provide both an individually-tailored and well-rounded course of studies as part of an undergraduate career.
