Introduction To Biochemistry

Program description

Mentorship Focus: To introduce learners to the fundamental principles of biochemistry, including the chemical basis of life, the structure and function of biomolecules (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids), enzymes, metabolism, and the role of biochemistry in health, medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. Audience: Undergraduate students (especially beginners in biochemistry, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, microbiology, and related life sciences) Senior secondary school graduates preparing for tertiary education Anyone interested in understanding the chemistry of living organisms Expected Outcome: By the end of the mentorship, participants should be able to: Explain the basic concepts and scope of biochemistry. Identify and describe the major classes of biomolecules and their functions. Understand the principles of enzyme activity and metabolic pathways. Relate biochemical processes to human health and disease. Build a strong foundation for advanced studies in biochemistry and other life science disciplines.
