Professor Evans-Veres is at Oxford, so he's probably a well-above-average biochemist.
Bear in mind that the question isn't "can top biochemistry professors help stop/undo death" -- it's "can a high-end biochemist be of help, if you can do magic and rearrange matter at the molecular level." And that seems relatively plausible.
Could you propose a specific way that a high-end biochemist can help with the condition in which Hermoine happen to be?
At least he is someone with something resembling medical training, which is some big potential to help, since harry wasn't even clear on how to use a first aid kit.
At first I thought that Harry just sitting there was counter-productive, but then I remembered they probably wouldn't let him kidnap muggles even for a night. However his father would be brought in promptly if Harry asked that.
Also I tried to do some fact checking while typing this, but it turns out new chapters had come out (so I'll drop this and go read them instead).
