You are naturally patient and fascinated by how living things function. Your desire to find out why things exist has given you an interest in how human biology and disease work. These qualities mean that you would be perfect for the scientific field of biochemistry.

Biochemists are scientists that investigate the chemical processes that take place inside all living things, from viruses and bacteria to people. They can spend their careers doing a variation of things from researching causes of disease and cures in the lab to monitoring the quality control of pharmaceuticals or products within the food industry.

Studying and working in biochemistry allows you to work in both biology and chemistry, giving you a well-rounded understanding of how living things work and how you can improve their quality of life.
