Best Colleges in Biochemistry Program

This page introduces the top colleges in Biochemistry program. University of California-Berkeley is ranked first in Biochemistry program ranking and University of Wisconsin-Madison is placed in second. Next describes the Biochemistry program in general.

Biochemistry, sometimes called biological chemistry, is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. By controlling information flow through biochemical signaling and the flow of chemical energy through metabolism, biochemical processes give rise to the complexity of life. Over the last 40 years, biochemistry has become so successful at explaining living processes that now almost all areas of the life sciences from botany to medicine are engaged in biochemical research.[read more at wiki]
