San Diego Biochemistry Jobs Overview

Biochemists study the chemical processes that take place within our bodies and those of other living organisms. What we know today as biochemistry began in 1774 with a jar, a plant, and a mouse. A scientist named Joseph Priestly discovered oxygen when he put a plant and a mouse together in a jar and found that the mouse could breathe the gas produced by the plant. That was just the start of the essential discoveries that scientists with biochemistry jobs have found through the decades working with DNA, hereditary traits, disease, and cell development.

Biochemists conduct basic and applied research, manage laboratory teams, and prepare papers, reports, and presentations. They may use microscopes, X-rays, modeling software, and other tools to identify and analyze the structures of molecules and study how different types of cells grow, divide, and mutate. They also work to secure funding and grants to continue their work.

You may hear biochemists being called biophysicists, molecular biologists, or cellular biologists. Approximately 10% of all biochemists work for pharmaceutical manufacturers, with the next 8% in colleges and universities. Some biochemistry jobs exist in consulting services, wholesale trade, or sales for companies who need the help of an expert to sell their products.
