About this career
Biochemists explore how living things work at the level of molecules — like how cells use energy or how a drug fights a virus. They spend a lot of time running careful lab experiments and analyzing results. A great fit if you love biology and chemistry and want your work to help people's health. Most research roles need a graduate degree.
