Biochemistry
About Biochemistry
Biochemistry research at SDSU explores the intricate chemical processes that sustain life and drive disease. Faculty in this area investigate how viruses replicate, how proteins fold and interact, and how signaling pathways shape cellular behavior. Their work ranges from designing proteins with novel functions to uncovering mechanisms of genetic expression and regulation. By bridging chemistry and biology, the program fosters discovery at the interface of fundamental science and medical application, equipping students to contribute to advances in health, biotechnology, and molecular design.
