At its core, biochemistry is the application of chemistry to living things, down to the cellular and even molecular levels. The chemistry of plants and animals determine everything of importance to our world (or at least our place in it), and as our understanding of biochemistry grows, so do its applications, notably including the treatment of many diseases and disorders in humans and other animals. With applications for pharmacy, biotechnology, genetics, bioengineering, and more, there has never been a better time to study biochemistry in Germany!
