Day in the Life of a Biochemistry Research Intern


Biochemists and Biophysicists

Biophysicists and biochemists specialize in studying the physical and chemical principles of biological processes and living things. They study disease, heredity cell development and growth. Duties Typically, biophysicists and biochemists do the following:Prepare research papers, recommendations and... ... more

Academic Programs of Interest for Biochemists and Biophysicists


Applied Physics
It usually differs from engineering in that an applied physicist may not be designing something in particular, but rather is using physics or conducting physics research with... more
