Physical chemistry

Physical chemistry is the study of the effect of chemical structure on the physical properties of a substance.

Biochemistry

Biochemistry is the study of chemical reactions that take place in living things. It tries to explain them in chemical terms.

Biochemical research includes cancer and stem cell biology, infectious disease, and cell membrane and structural biology.

It includes molecular biology, genetics, biochemical pharmacology, clinical biochemistry and agricultural biochemistry.
