Biochemists are primarily interested in chemical composition and reaction within living matter. At a practical level, this translates to such issues as how HIV destroys parts of the human immune system and what forms the basis of human memory. Molecular biology is concerned with molecular life processes, like genetic structure, function and viral agents. Combine these two disciplines and you have a scientific powerhouse for advances in numerous crucial industries, such as food, pharmaceuticals and pathology.
