Clinical Chemistry

Medical Biochemistry

Medical Biochemistry is that branch of medicine concerned with the biochemistry and metabolism of human health and disease. The medical biochemist is trained in the operation and management of clinical biochemistry laboratories, and acts as a consultant in all aspects of their use. The medical biochemist directs clinical laboratories, consults, diagnoses and treats patients with a variety of metabolic disorders and biochemical abnormalities. Medical biochemistry addresses the functioning of normal and diseased organisms from a biochemical point of view.Through modules in neurodegeneration, cardiovascular disease and immunology, one will develop a strong understanding of the implications of biochemistry within medicine alongside the research and experimental skills.
