About this research area
Biochemistry at VOC Research World is concerned with the molecular logic of living systems — how metabolic pathways are regulated, how enzymes achieve catalytic specificity, and how disruptions to these systems present as disease.
Work in this area draws on coursework in metabolic regulation and bio-inorganic biochemistry, translating classroom-level mechanism into publication-ready research notes, reviews and worked examples suited to exam preparation and applied laboratory understanding alike.
Current research interests
- Allosteric and hormonal regulation of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis
- Enzyme kinetics and inhibition mechanisms
- Metal ion cofactors in enzyme catalysis (bio-inorganic biochemistry)
- Clinical correlations between metabolic dysregulation and disease
