Am a Biochemist but want to say i regret been one. I left school well equipped but there were no area to invest my skills after five years of graduation and the skills were not only gone but out- dated. Nigeria society does not support research cos that is the major area where a Biochemist can fit in. Someone mention working in research Lab But i want to let you know that those area are now professionalised. If you are not registered as a lab scientist, you cant work in a lab. And to be registered as a lab scientist you must have a cert in SLT. These leaves the Biochemist floating . You go to the food sector its same, they need professionals, you need be reg to be able to work with them. The pharmaceutical industries its same, accept you want to be in the marketing sector. However one sector of Biochemistry is still left untapped that is the forensic bch and Enzymology even though we are constrained by poor facilities. Every other sector or field of BCH, there are competitors from other fields. In all the study of Biochemistry in nigeria is more or less theoretic even at masters level and percentage of them end up with chalk.

Kunlexic: I wish 2 study SLT @ poly but due to d competitn and the cut-off for d course,i den think nutrition and dietetics will be okay.Pls is it possible to use OND in nut/diet to get pharmacy or biochem course thru D.E?

Have you gotten admission into a poly yet? If no, are you still interested in getting admission into a poly to study SLT? If your answer is yes, please holla me here or follow me on twitter with: @diakpa.

My dear, you'd definitely be left behind if you don't know how to sell yourself. I believe you should know that majority of the diagnostic tests carried out the hospital labs are done using biochemical principles. That's where you as a Biochemist comes in. As for Nutrition, you should also know that thereks a branch of Biochemistry that deals with Nutrition/Dietrics. Same with Environmental Biochemistry/Toxicology and Pharmaceutical Biochemistry/Toxicology. I'd advise you to go for an M.Sc degree, if you have the means to do that. Other than that, you can try to fix yourself somewhere, even if it means being the classroom, until a better job opportunity presents itself.

Wotz d difference btw medical biochemistry nd biochemistry

Biosphere: how tough is biochemistry?

No course is ''untough'',bro..Just av d strong believe U̶̲̥̅̊ gonna beat all odds..and d pathways cud be frustrating sometimes!!!

Bros,it's tru witout SLT cert. U̶̲̥̅̊ can't work in d labs buh Ȋ̝̊̅ must tell U̶̲̥̅̊ Ȋ̝̊̅ av older colleagues dat are employed in various firms and are very comfortable:breweries,fud processing and other fMCGs.Some are even lecturing..Bros,abeg nor bring ur frustration come nairaland ooh,it's discouraging!!!!!

Can someone please explain if or how protein sparing effect of carbohydrate and fat affect weight.

@johndwayy. So far, I lyk everythin dat as to do wit proteins and nucloetides. But d aspect I find challengin is d different pathways

different btw medical biochemistry nd biochem. Can a medical biochem work in a lab

IamSassy: @johndwayy. So far, I lyk everythin dat as to do wit proteins and nucloetides. But d aspect I find challengin is d different pathways

did i hear u say nucleotides? 4 me i think dey re d most difficult, esp purine biosynthesis, porphyrin & heme biosynthesis... followed by proteins, cos u hv to knw d synthesis nd degradation of each of d amino acids. Carbohydrates pathways re quite easier to understand cos glucose is @ d crossroad of each of these pathways. Wot abt enzymology??

I don't have any problem discussing anything with you here. It's just that the polytechnic where I work (Delta State School of Marine Technology, Burutu) is currently selling admission forms, and you can apply to study SLT there. If you need the full admission details and to check for authenthicity, visit: www.deltastatesomatech.edu.ng

Biochemistry is the bedrock of Pharmacy and Medicine.

To get good job placements with a degree in BCH,
1. Study well and excel (it is not he that read pass that pass pass,Lol)

2. Be able to explain the concepts you have learnt on the course

3. Be able to sell yourself

4. Prepare for an exam/interview as thoroughly as practicable.

5. Add value to yourself however possible
.Thank God for the internet.

6. Get a higher degree

7. Become your own boss(manufacturing on a small scale)

In all, bear in mind that competition is fierce in the job market and good companies go only for the best.

Many Biochemists work in breweries, pharmaceuticals(Emzor, GSK), FMCG companies(Unilever, Reckitt Benkiser, PZ, P&G),etc.

I am a brewer and I studied Biochemistry.

I have been following this thread for some time now, just want to hola @ you all, though a Microbiology student of University of Abuja, just saying hi to you guys

Just to say hi too... Luv d thread nd m really learnin frm d ques n replies... Weldone!

...thnx sis,i'm an aspirant of biochem,i will luv 2 av ur details may b ur facebook username will just do...who knows,u cud b of help 2 me in d nearest future.

Great job goin on here. Tnx 4 d piece of advicn n enlightenment. Kip it up great metabolites!

@johndwayy. remember i said i am a 200l student.i prefer nucleotide and protein to carbohydrates and lipids maybe cos of the little i know about them for now. maybe when i move further, my orientation about each of them will change.

mayorall: Can someone please explain if or how protein sparing effect of carbohydrate and fat affect weight.

is this a project topic? if no help urself with a textbook or use google

It seems i am the odd one here

Just got admitted to study biochemistry at FUTA.hw is d course,because all i dey read here say witout OND in SLT is nt 2 gud.cos am already studying SLT at poly going to nd2 but i want to leave der and focus fully on bch.pls advice

uniben gat biochemistry nd medical biochemistry,wotz d difference btw d 2?uniben gat biochemistry nd medical biochemistry,wotz d difference btw d 2?uniben gat biochemistry nd medical biochemistry,wotz d difference btw d 2?

its ur type that graduated with 3rd class or pass..your ability to sell urself matters a lot.talking about job,is there a course that can guarantee u a job,is it pet eng,law,theatre arts.geology,mech eng.theres is no guaranteed job for any course,.wat matters most in nigeria is ur ability to sel yourself and your connection.,my cousin read biochemistry in u.i and has been working with ndlea for more than 5yrs,he is living large..u can become watever u want to become if uve got d right mindset and work towards it

GOD IS UR STRENTH BRO

Kunlexic: Iam an aspirant and i wish to study pharmacy but i put in 4 bch as my 2nd choice course,all are still d same,xo wlc me as i am hear to gain experience on the course.

Oh dear here they come. Please don't make the mistake of thinking that pharmacy and biochemistry are related. They are similar but pharmacy is much more tougher than biochemistry. You get to write professional exams in pharmacy with a possibility of studying the course for way more than five years that is if you are among those that just rushed in and registered for the course without actually knowing what it is all about;without knowing that it is as tough as preparing for a neurosurgery final exam. Biochemistry on the other hand is a four year course that guarantees you graduation in four years and a minimum of 2.2 because, though it is tough, it is something you enjoy practice in your everyday life.

Hi.frnds i'm new here pls.help me,what are the DEPARTMENTAL COURSES OF B.sc.Biochemistry at 100 Level.i need your replies.
