i_amcourage: Great biochemist!! Am presently studying biochemistry at caritas uni, I must say that it has nt been easy buh with hardwork and prayer we will all come good,

Daystarn: Sorry if i am asking too much questn,just want enlighten myself more.If u are considering public health where ad what of will u do?cause I askd a doctor friend of mine who does smthng like public if I cld go into public health,bt he sd it is possible,only thse who studied a profstnal course like medicine can do that.pls how true is dat? Pls answer all,just naive,thnks

BukkyDan: Wow...its nice meeting you guys...
I'm a level two biochem student @ bayero uni Kano(would be starting lectures soon).
Please is biochemistry that difficult?

torres2: @Bukahand thanks for your advice.

Bro pls I need you to give me some list of books you think would help me in further reading, am presently in year two and finding the course tasking but the grace of God has been sufficient. Pls if you also have an idea of the PRICE so as complement further reading after lecture

alienware: am a highly experienced biochemist and i can tell you what that doctor friend of yours said is not true. I have a friend who graduated from kogi state university anyigba and he's now in unilag for m.sc in public health, he graduated 4.21. I wanted to go for m.sc in public health but i thought medical statistics at m.sc level will be an advantage,because i realised non-govermental jobs were springing up in nigeria. But then again i thought too many mbbs students were going for m.sc in public health and these guys will have an edge over me,so i thought going for m.sc in public health and medical stat with the hope of getting a job in a reputable non-govermental organisation will be competitive, i had another idea ! I have applied for a job at nestle,indomie,promasidor etal , i got the job but i declined the offer and decided to go for m.sc industrial biochemistry i will suggest anybody going for post graduate courses in biochemistry should try this. This course encapsulate many branches of manufacturing like food, pharmaceutical, etal. Don't go for biotechnology in nigeria, it is still in the nascent stage and u will hardly get a job except u are in australia,india,new zealand and canada where it has become lucrative. Do you know the next industrial revolution in africa and nigeria in particular will be in the food industry and light manufacturing ? I like industrial chemistry too,but i don't want to stress myself going for m.sc in that course. It's kinda hectic.

bukahands:

Ok cool, I used lehninger principle of biochemistry, it cost between 3K-5K depending on the edition. Hope this helps

bukahands:

I am serving in a school in Lagos like every1else, I am not settled on where to work yet, I am heading for masters am considering btw biotechnology, environmental science, public health.

Christine01: @ Daystarn, its molecular cell biology.I want to combine active research work with lecturing.

I have some e-books on Biochemistry:

Garret and Grisham- Biochemistry 2nd edition.
Colour atlas of Biochemistry, 2nd edition.
Biochemistry, 3rd edition by Mattews, Van Holde and Ahern.
Oxford Dictionary of Biochemistry and molecular Biology.
Biochemistry, 5th edition- Lubert Stryer

I finished from UNILAG, studied biochemistry, just rounded up my NySc in june. Am currently doing my masters in biochemistry. Its not easy but when u enjoy what u r doing nothing can stop you from acheiving your goal.
