Biochemistry can be a challenging subject for many students because the material is broad and complex.
It's a multidisciplinary science that calls for expertise in a variety of fields including chemistry, biology and mathematics.
I've found that biochemistry subjects can feel ethereal and difficult to visualise..
The Department of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology.
The Department of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology (BCMP) is a community of creative scholars, talented scientists and dedicated staff focused on advancing the research, teaching, and service missions of Harvard Medical School..
Biochemists, sometimes called molecular biologists or cellular biologists, may study the molecular mechanisms by which cells feed, divide, and grow.
Others study the evolution of plants and animals, to understand how genetic traits are carried through successive generations..
HarvardX: Principles of Biochemistry
This introduction to biochemistry explores the molecules of life, starting at simple building blocks and culminating in complex metabolism..

Learn foundational concepts in biochemistry and gain a new appreciation for how this field applies to human health and disease.
Get updates on new courses.
Explore the roles that microbes play in the production, preservation, and enhancement of diverse foods in a variety of culinary traditions, and learn about the history of food fermentations.
This course emphasizes the application of organic synthesis to the development of pharmaceutical targets at both the medicinal and process chemistry levels.
In HMX Fundamentals Biochemistry, you’ll learn about the principles governing the interactions of individual molecules, and how those same principles apply at the scale of cells and organisms.
Along the way, you’ll see how biochemistry intersects with human disease and clinical care.
For example, understanding the biochemistry of carbohydrate metabolism allows the students to understand how the body can deal with fasting and with the sudden influx of nutrients after a meal, and also provides a good understanding of diseases such as:
