Biochemists generally pursue research related work in the following fields.
Biochemists, in this field carry out diagnostic tests and investigations for
finding out causes of diseases. Their major concern is to study the role of
genetic transmission of diseases from one generation to another. They also try
to figure out the chemical changes that take place in the cells of the body
parts which signal the onset of various diseases such as tuberculosis, cancer,
diabetes, mental disorders like epilepsy etc. Research related to
identification and analysis of chemical processes like muscular contraction,
reproduction, metabolism etc also relates to their job Biochemists develop and
innovate new improved techniques for crop cultivation, pest control management
and
The mechanism of
fermentation process which has been practiced for past many years was
discovered by biochemists only. Biochemistry is a field of intense research,
hence to be a good biochemist requires, inquisitive attitude, determination,
perseverance and keen observation sense along with intelligence and hard work.
Research is often a team work and therefore the individual should have team
spirit, to work as a part of the unit. The work sometimes consume a lot of
time so patience, stamina to work for long hours and tenacity become other
important requisites Biochemistry can be pursued by those having background in
science at 10+2 level. Individuals interested in pursuing this subject can initially
study the subject in the B.Sc. course and further continue with it

The Navy operates in countless locales. Each presents unique challenges for Sailors and Marines. Navy Research Biochemists and Forensic Toxicologists work behind the scenes to promote the safety of personnel as well as evaluate crucial evidence for military court proceedings. It’s a wide, varied field of specialties offering excellent opportunities for career
growth. Job Description There are two distinct ways of making a difference in Navy biochemistry.
Research biochemists conduct and manage basic and applied research on biochemical problems of interest to the Navy. Design studies. Develop methodologies. Carry out research. And analyze results.
Forensic toxicologists work in military forensic laboratories, Navy research laboratories or Environmental Preventive Medicine Units. They also teach at the Naval Academy and elsewhere. Manage and direct operations. Use state-of-the-art equipment to identify abuse of drugs in body fluids. Present forensic evidence to lawyers, military judges and members of court-martial proceedings. Study the effects of toxic substances on normal life processes. Test and develop protective equipment for military operations and evaluate exposure limits to chemical
compounds. You may even serve as a member of a deployable Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Environmental
Training Team, defending our nation against biological, chemical and nuclear weapons. Return
