Biochemistry in Medicine

How Is Biochemistry Used in Medicine?

Biochemistry helps us understand diseases and develop treatments. By studying molecules in the body, doctors can diagnose illnesses, track health, and create new medicines.

Applications

  • Blood tests measure biomolecules like glucose or cholesterol.
  • Enzyme therapy can treat genetic diseases.
  • Understanding viruses at a molecular level helps create vaccines.

Biochemistry is at the heart of modern healthcare!

Examples

  • Doctors use blood sugar tests to monitor diabetes.

  • COVID-19 vaccines were developed using biochemistry tools.
