I always had an interest in science but Biochemistry was the most fascinating to me. The degree and PhD inBiochemistry have helped me enormously in my formercareer as a research scientist and in my current role in
patent law. The degree I received from UCC allowed meto pursue a career in patent law, working for a number of
years in Japan with a Japanese law firm, and presentlywith an intellectual property law firm in Dublin. TheBiochemistry degree provides me with the broad
knowledge base I use every day in my work as a traineepatent attorney.

The Department of Biochemistry is highly active in research and has a long and well established international trackrecord in the broad Biochemistry area with a strong focus on molecular, cellular and analytical biochemistry. TheDepartment is noted for its high quality publication record and its high level of innovation. The Department has stateof the art research laboratories housed in the modern Biosciences Research Institute and in the Western GatewayBuilding. The Department is highly active in research collaboration at both the academic and industrial level.Researchers in the Department include:
Professor Tom Cotter’s research has made a major contribution to current understanding of the control and regulationof the programmed death of cells in normal and disease tissues with a particular focus on cancer and on degenerativeeye disease. His research has provided valuable new leads for therapeutic intervention in cancer and degenerative eyedisease.
Professor Rosemary O’Connor’s research has made a major contribution to current understanding of the action of theInsulin like Growth Factor in cancer and neurodegeneration and has provided valuable new leads for drugdevelopment in cancer.
The theoretical and practical knowledge I gained during my degree in Biochemistry setme up perfectly for a career in the BioPharma industry. 5 years on from graduating I amstill recalling information from my degree and using it in my everyday work. BioPharmacompanies are consistently looking to employ Biochemistry graduates and offer diverse
roles to those with such a science background.

I finished my BSc in Biochemistry in 2012 and found the course very fulfilling andrewarding, particularly in my final year when I was given the opportunity to undertake
my own research project. I always found the staff of the Biochemistry departmentextremely helpful and supportive throughout the four years. My BSc in Biochemistry was
an essential part of my acceptance into a MSc / PhD programme in cancer research atOxford University.
