Everyone knows that energy is essential for sustaining life. How can you define energy in life? Have ever thought about ways of how carbohydrates like glucose from your diet can be used for extracting energy? A scientific field that focuses on energy production and flow though living cells and organisms is called bioenergetics. Energy metabolism covers various biochemical ways of energy transformation and regulatory mechanisms of over thousands chemical reactions. Without fine control of those metabolic processes, cells and organisms cannot maintain activities linked to life. This 7 week-course will give you a clear introduction to the basic fundamentals of energy metabolism. We will first establish the concept of energy metabolism and subsequently examine biochemical steps involved in energy production from glucose oxdiation as well as glucose synthesis via photosynthesis. We will also learn about metabolic reactions related to fat as well as regulatory actions among different organs. Finally, dysregulated energy metabolism in pathological conditions such as diabetes and cancer will be discussed. Everyone knows that energy is essential for sustaining life.

osm course for brief understanding and the faculty also is teaching in different and understandable manner am very satisfied with the work of faculty and it is best area for gaining knowledge.
PA
It was really helpful. Most of the things that were taught in this course i already new, but I also learned new things and it made me to study them more.
MS
This was quite good in understanding the basis knowledge of metabolic process and how they are interconnected. I recommend this course to everyone.
JT
a very interesting course that explains metabolism of plants and human in details it clarifies whats happening on and the fate of each molecules in different organells thanks a lot
JK
All the topics were explained in an excellent way! I learned and rememnber much more than from my biochemistry course during masters degree. Good pace and level of the quizes. Thank you
SC
Dr. Seyum Kim has passionately designed this course and delivered it thoroughly interesting. It has been a good learning content for me. Thank you for the efforts Dr. Seyum Kim.
DD
Wonderful course in which I could learn more about the metabolic biochemical mechanisms of energy to improve my proficiency in the subject.
SD
Wonderful learning, our course instructor (Seyun Kim) sir have explained each every topics clearly and in very easy process, just loved the session
VS
Thank you so much this course means a lot to me especially about the biochemistry carrer and i recommend this course to all the Biochemists and biotechnology students all around the world.
SR
The course was very good and informative. The professor made it very interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed the course ! Thank you very much.
AC
excellent info about what happens to food, being converted to glucose etc and being used in muscles...the energy pathways, enzymes and chemical processes are described in a clear and concise way.

This Professor connected the dots in a most refined manner, and he was very clear, concise, understandable, and demonstrative. I want him to do a course on RNA, and DNA with demonstrative samples of reading the DNA and RNA print. I wish to take more courses from him, specifically in forensics.
osm course for brief understanding and the faculty also is teaching in different and understandable manner am very satisfied with the work of faculty and it is best area for gaining knowledge.
Thank you for this wonderful course,it really helped me prepare for my third year in biochemistry undergraduate study.all of the topics covered were a part of my curriculum and shall help me get ahead start when the semester resumes!
Detailed explanations, not for beginners. If you have a background or undertaken coursework in Exercise Science and Nutrition this is a thoroughly enjoyable course.
This professor knows what he's doing. As a huge lover of biology, chemistry, and medicine, I can see that he puts his love for his lessons and when he talks as well. He is an expert on his field, knows what he's talking about, and puts pride to KAIST (Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology). I love his lessons, 5/5!
This course offers an overview of metabolism and covers the basics, as well as topics of current research interest. Dr. Kim masterfully delivers this course with clear explanations, diagrams and emphasis on concepts rather than details. This course can serve as an introduction to hot topics such as immunometabolism and exercise science.
Very useful course
I've got a lot of knowledge about carbohydrate and it's function and it's important in human body forthemore I've learned information on topics where myths abound like diabetes,fat metabolism and photosynthesis
I'm really thankful for having this opportunity to discover all this knowledge
Es un curso muy completo, cubre muy bien las nociones básicas sobre el metabolismo en condiciones fisiológicas normales. Así mismo da una breve introducción a distintas patologías comunes en el metabolismo humano. Muy recomendado :)
Great course for understanding the biochemical reactions taking place in human cells that keep a person alive. Dr. Kim did a great job of teaching the course.
This was quite good in understanding the basis knowledge of metabolic process and how they are interconnected. I recommend this course to everyone.
This course was really helpful ! well structured lecture and a good teacher.
Biochemistry courses are seriously awesome! They dive into the cool science behind how living things work at a molecular level. You'll learn about everything from DNA to enzymes, and how these tiny molecules play huge roles in our bodies. These classes are super engaging, with hands-on lab work that makes the learning experience fun and interactive. You won’t just be sitting in lectures; you’ll be getting your hands dirty with experiments that show you how biochemistry applies in real life, like in medicine and nutrition. Plus, biochemistry is at the heart of some of the most exciting breakthroughs in science today! By taking these courses, you’ll not only build your knowledge but also get inspired to think about how you can make a difference in the world, whether it's through research, healthcare, or even environmental science. So, if you’re curious about how life works and want to explore a field that’s full of opportunities, biochemistry courses are the way to go! They’ll equip you with the skills and insights you need for a bright future in science. Go for it!
I am studend of chemistry faculty of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. I did take this course because I want to improve my knoledge in biochemistry. I think that chemist should study Biochemical Principles of Energy Metabolism in order to know how chemical substance can influence on our organism and understand chemistry processes in our body. it is very intresting course. I enjoy every lection. I think that course is the most useful l've ever met. I could not understand process of glucose oxidation for a long time, but thanks to this course I succeeded. I'm looking forward new courses from Dr. Seyun Kim.
I really enjoyed this course- Dr. Kim took this material to the next level. I studied biochemistry back in the 2000s and the best part of this course was Dr. Kim's ability to incorporate very new research into his lectures. His pace, emphasis, materials- everything was excellent. Dr. Kim took the time to digitize his note-writing on the slides, so that it wouldn't be hard for us to read during lectures. If you are interested in biochemistry in general, then I highly recommend taking this thorough course. Thank you very much!
Even though this course has basic level, the concentration of useful information makes this course very complex and saturated. By passing this course, you will understand how energy metabolism works, you will see its principles in your life, you'll admit some details while eating, moving, and, of course, the knowledge from this course will help you to move forward in biochemical way. It gives you full understand of energy metabolism!
Entire course strongly scientific and clinical approach to content. It is rare course gives explanation based on covering all must known areas in order to illustrate topics of bio-energectics. Who among medical field will no more than regret if not attempt this course at least one week of duration, after getting inspired how illustrated and shows clear understanding from enzymology to oncology settings of current topic
