NIGERIA SOCIETY OF BIOCHEMISTRY STUDENTS (NSBS)

Most of the time when you mention biochemistry, the first thing that comes to their minds is secondary school chemistry and a little biology; then you hear them make comments like, “I can’t understand it because I don’t like chemistry.” Yes it is chemistry and biology but it is beyond that. It is indeed more than secondary school chemistry and biology. It is in fact the study of all the cellular activities in an organism. Bio-chemistry itself is the study of life at the molecular level. To further explain this; biochemistry is studying living things, ranging from plants, animals and microorganism, from the tiniest cellular function to the complex organs in these living things. Understanding the mechanism of the reactions occurring in the living beings that keeps them existing. Take for instance the human being; how does the brain interpret the series of reactions and activities going on in the body? Biochemistry explains how the pathways with help of several enzymes work together to m

From the month of July, 2017 our biochemical acumen will be put to test. Our catabolic enumeration will be evaluated. The NSBS National Essay & Research Exhibition seeks to create a platform for all biochemistry students in Nigeria to showcase their intellectual prowess and be awarded subsequently. Watch out for more information!

Nigeria Society of Biochemistry Students, University of Nigeria, Nsukka Chapter had their handover congress on the 14th of June, 2017.

Great Eminents! Great Metabolites! The study of Biochemistry in Nigeria has been faced with so many predicaments ranging from socio-political, socio-economical and other intrinsic factors. Some of these issues are inevitable while others were catalyzed by us. Repression or inhibition have proven abortive due to the high substrate concentration (the problem) as compared to the inhibitor/repressor ( the solution). The predominance of other Science discipline have also seen the forward reaction (more interdisciplinary conflicts) favoured. Every discipline clamors for recognition and when we do so, we are regarded as being desperate. But they forget that "there is no smoke without fire" a phrase that is analogical to "life sciences is nothing without Biochemistry". Biochemistry is the "life-wire", the "back bone" and the core of any life science discipline. This is because as it simply put, it is the "Chemistry of Life". It seeks to exp

WHO ARE WE? The Nigeria Society of Biochemistry Students (NSBS), is a student association for all biochemistry students at various tertiary institutions in Nigeria. It has its National Body which houses numerous local chapters from the six (6) geo-political zone in Nigeria. AIMS & OBJECTIVES: The fundamental aims and objectives of the National body of the Nigeria Society of Biochemistry Students as provided in Chapter One Article II of the NSBS National Constitution is to: a). promote the interest and encourage the study of Biochemistry in Nigeria in particular and the world at large. b). ensure the welfare of students and their full participation in the activities of NSBS both at the National level and all local chapters. c). equip members with organizational skills and experience needed for greater roles for which they may be called upon later in life. d). instill the necessary feeling of oneness among student of Biochemistry in Nigeria. e). promote a healthy relati
