I noticed there's no thread running for graduates and undergraduates of biochemistry(biochemists)...i invite all biochemist and prospectives to share their experiences,the ups and downs in this career of ours and lets see how we can help each other get to the peak of our career....WELCOME

Great biochemists lets share ideas here please

Happy new year Metabolites, it wil be great sharing and learning from each oda. Cheers

Dazzled: Happy new year Metabolites, it will be great sharing and learning from each oda. Cheers

@DAZZLED..happy new yr..are you still a student or practicing as a biochemist...either way you may want to share your experiences with us..cheers

Am tru wit skul n workin in a pharmaceutical coy, in dat way am practicing as a biochemist, havin d opportunity to know more abt drugs n their metabolism.
Biochemistry is a versatile field and any biochemist can find his/herself in diff organizations like food, oil, pharmaceutical n manufacturing industries.

Great metabolites! Nice to associate with great peeps here on nairaland.I am a prospective corp member, and i would like to get advice that will help shape my career prospects.

@ Jamebex, u ve got 2 decide wh part of biochemistry u want 2 face either its food biochem, industrial biochem, pharmacology section etc but we al know hw d situation of gettin a job is in dis country, my advice wil b get a job n den build a career on it n also goin 4 masters n joinin a professional body.

Thanks for your insightful response. To be candid, at this stage, i am really not decided on any niche to stay in Biochemistry. I am somewhat objective now and willing to take any course whatsoever provided it will be worthwile in the long run. The problem now is that Biochemistry is at an incipient stage in Nigeria and as such one can not really point out any difned route for a fresh graduate of Biochemistry that why folks like you who have traded this path is needed to put us through. In a nutshell Food Biochemistry, Industrial Biochemistry, Pharmacology, i really dont know what future they hold for one in the long run. Please will you be kind to expatiate? Thanks once again.

well said bro...can u pls throw more light on the professional body stuff nd if possible wit examples....dnt knw if u have any idea on certificate programme(s) that a biochemist can undertake 2 backup he/her degree...please share wit us**cheers**

Response please

U cud join an associatn wh wil boost u. Nigeria society of biochemistry n molecular biology.
Jamebex, for food biochemistry u cn work @ nafdac as lab analyst or uac, leventis, cadbury,etc also as a quality assurance officer, for pharmacology u cn work at @ pharmaceutical coy, for industrial biochem also as quality assurance officer. Being a biochemist gives u d leverage to fit anywhere.

Great biochemists.pls wat are the trade/ names of leucine?these 'phamacist' dnt seem to knw it.tanx

Wow! Priceless thread! Plz GREAT EMINENTS we(fellow Eminents) need more of ur comments.
Some of us studying this course are still confused(dnt really knw wat we r studying but doing dat cus uncle, auntie, friend, daddy, mummy said is a nice course).
Now that God has given us the opportunity to clear our minds, learn more and fully understand biochemistry, lets not throw it away.

God bless the OP for creating this thread, bless my Asha201 for giving me the opportunity to access the internet(even though im praying for a new phone), bless the heavy rain for making me unable to go to school this morning thereby making it possible for me to visit nairaland, bless nairaland for being there for me, bless the person that introduced me to nairaland,

And finally, bless the mode that will put this trd in frontpage and my fellow nairalanders.

gr8 metabolite..........pls where can I do my siwes as. a biochemist

love this thread. Im a biochemistry undergraduate,hopin to learn sumtinz in dis thread. Greatest metabolites...

Happy new month Biochemist

Fellow Metabolites

greatest metabolites!

Bchemist are not pharmacologist n can never be pharmacist... They are used to fill in lack of pxcist in pharmaceutical companies... But wat do Bchemist do actually.... Confused by confused set of ppl.... Ppl don't shoot me down ooo... WAAAAARRR.....

GREAT METABOLITES! Good morning to u all. I'm new on this thread but I love it. I'm a Biochemistry graduate from UNILORIN and just completed my youth service. Have a pleasant week. Cheers!

@lizmovic, work harder. I graduated from unilorin and discovered that 1st semester 300l was the hardest, that's when my gp dropped from 2.1 to 2.2 but at d end i'm still proud to be a metabolite. Believe in urself and know that u can make it. Best of luck!
