Biochemists study chemical processes which occur within living organisms. They explore the chemistry of biology: the molecules in plants and animals and the ways they behave. Microbiologist Luke Moe, who did his doctorate in biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin, studies the ways enzymes within tiny creatures interact with chemicals. Chemist and Cancer Researcher Eugene DeSombre’s research explored the role the hormone estrogen plays in breast cancer and identified ways to figure out which cancers would respond to estrogen-related treatments.
Retired Biochemist Eugene DeSombre studied how different kinds of breast cancer responded to estrogen so that doctors would know how their patients would respond to different medicine or …
You might think of microbes as “germs”: tiny organisms that make people sick. But our bodies contain ten times more microbes than cells of our own. Many of those microorganisms in our bodies and other …
