Since its founding in November 1986, Department of Biochemistry has been committed to expanding and sharing knowledge, inspiring innovation, and scientific information for future generations. Biochemistry is the understanding how biological molecules give rise to the processes that occur within living cells, which in turn relates greatly to the study and understanding of organisms. The knowledges of biochemistry are applied primarily in medicine, nutrition, environment, agriculture, and nanobiotechnology. ​
