Who Is This Course For
This course is designed for anyone looking to advance their knowledge of the principles of biochemistry, whether to supplement their university course or to further their career. By taking this course, you will gain insight into the underlying mechanisms of our cells and how key biochemical reactions work together to provide energy, enabling us to stay alive. This course will highlight several key energy sources and explain how these are utilised in cells, as well as what happens when these mechanisms become dysregulated. This certification will give an advantage to anyone seeking competitive entry-level biochemistry jobs or looking to further their education in an advanced degree biochemistry program.
What you'll learn
- Understand the basics of protein structure and protein folding.
- Appreciate the many different sources of energy for cell metabolism.
- Be able to draw enzymatic reactions.
- Gain an insight into key biochemical reactions in the cells.
- Become familiar with key cell signalling pathways.
- Understand the importance of cell biochemistry in cancer therapy.

Meet Your Instructor
Dr. Mai Shafei
Mai holds a PhD in Cancer Metabolism from the University of the West of England, UK. Her PhD focused on dysregulated cell metabolism in particular the role branched-chain aminotransferase proteins in the progression of breast cancer. Her work has been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals including Oncotarget. After her PhD, she moved to Sheffield for a post-doctoral research position at the University of Sheffield investigating mechanisms by which epithelial tissues shape and polarize using the mammary gland as a model system. She has developed strong expertise in biochemistry, breast cancer, cell biology and cell signalling pathways.
