Reapplying to UCAS
I had already applied to UCAS before Oct 15, but then I realised that I had switched my passion from natural sciences / biological sciences to biomedical sciences. Is it possible to withdraw my entire application now and then reapply again before January 29, and then apply to the other 5 Unis for courses I originally did not apply for for my first round? Thanks!!

You would have to get in touch with the teacher that handled your UCAS as soon as possible, I've not heard of this happening before and there might be another charge if it is possible.

No
It’s only possible to cancel your application and reapply within the same year within 14 days of submitting your application.
You can contact your original 5 universities to ask them to switch your application to a different course.
Alternatively you can wait until February and decline any offers to use Extra to apply for a different university.
This is why we try to encourage applicants applying before the early deadline to only use 1 or 2 of their choices. If you had left a couple of choices blank in October you could add different courses and universities in January.
