Biochemistry and molecular biology offer some of the most exciting and challenging careers in science and medicine. These include:

• Research Biochemists/Molecular Biologists - work in laboratories in universities, biotechnology companies and agricultural, medical and veterinary institutes. They investigate molecular networks in normal biological and defective processes of infectious and genetic diseases in animals and plants. They develop new ways to diagnose and treat diseases using the latest techniques.
• Industrial Biochemists - work in analytical and research laboratories in areas such as the food & beverages or fuel production from waste products by fermentation.
• Clinical Biochemists -work in hospitals studying the chemical composition of tissues and body fluids to aid the study, diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
• Biochemists/Molecular Biologists - work in Government agencies in specialist areas such as forensics, biosecurity, and quarantine.
