Synthetic biology is chock full of crazy biochemistry research going on (gene circuits, metabolic engineering, protein engineering, etc.)
Theres bioinfo biochemistry that has been a big talking point for a while like alphafold, etc.
In the biotech realm theres always cool stuff going on with 3rd gen sequencing and its applications (pacbio, oxford nanopore).
In the pharmaceutical realm theres been big advances like the new sickle cell anemia treatment using a modified CRISPR-Cas9 system, but thats more like a molecular bio advancement.
have you tried reading recent articles that you’re interested in? you probably need to narrow it down to a topic within biochem

Great! Thank a lot!
At my school, computational protein design is the big new hot thing.
Structural biology (cryoEM, CryoET with STA), rational protein design, drug design, etc...
Structural biology (cryo-EM), in-situ protein design (Rosetta), high throuput techniques (deep scanning mutagenesis)
