Program Overview
Biochemistry is a unique discipline because it sits at the interface between chemistry and biology and consequently it is an underpinning subject for many disciplines in the biological and biomedical sciences. Biochemistry is concerned with the study of the structure and function of the building blocks of life, i.e. proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids, and how these various components work together in living organisms. Crucially, biochemists seek to provide mechanistic explanations for biological processes and ask questions about how things work, why they work and what happens when they don’t! Moreover, biochemists developed many of the key quantitative and analytical technologies that are now used widely in the life and medical sciences. . All major pharmaceutical companies invest heavily in biochemistry to help aid their development of new drugs for cancer, infectious diseases and other pathological conditions. Biochemistry is also an essential component of biotechnology, where processes for the production of foods and fuels, and enzymes and other proteins are developed.
When you study biochemistry at Trinity you will have the opportunity to learn from leading researchers in cancer biology, obesity, diabetes, neurobiology, neurodegeneration, autoimmunity, immunometabolism, parasitology, protein structure and drug development. Teaching and training takes place in a new state-of-the-art facility, the Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute, which allows interdisciplinary training in biomedical sciences. Special features of biochemistry teaching at Trinity is the use of small group (2-3 students) tutorials with an assigned member of staff in third and fourth year, a nine week individual Capstone research project in the laboratory of one of the fifteen principal investigators in biochemistry in your final year and hands on training within the most advanced core facilities for microscopy, cytometry, NMR and X-ray crystallography in the country.
