On its acceptance, you are allotted with a research guide who will supervise you through the entire research work. There are a number of areas, where your research interests may lie. Some among them are: cell biology, molecular biology, membrane biology, neurobiology, immunology, embryonic development, nutritional deficiencies, pest control measures in agriculture, forensic science and so on. The scope of study and research in biochemistry is a wide one. You get to study about what goes on inside our cells and tissues, how the chemical metabolism is kept going and the various biological processes that help in keeping us alive.

Other than the coursework on research methodology and the various academic topics on biochemistry, in the first year of your PhD program you get on with various assignments, projects, workshops and seminars. Based on the research work you need to write a dissertation too.
