Biochemistry

The Department of Biochemistry focuses on the study of chemical structures, biological molecules, and metabolic processes that govern health and disease in the human body. Along with Anatomy and Physiology, Biochemistry forms an essential foundation of basic medical sciences and plays a vital role in medical education, research, and diagnostic services.

The department emphasizes the understanding of cellular components, enzymes, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and biochemical pathways involved in normal body functions and disease mechanisms. Teaching is designed to integrate theoretical knowledge with clinical applications, enabling students to correlate biochemical concepts with patient care and disease diagnosis.

The department regularly collaborates with clinicians to discuss clinical case scenarios and biochemical correlations that improve students’ understanding of disease processes and laboratory interpretation. In addition to academics, the department provides advanced diagnostic laboratory services supported by modern equipment, automated analyzers, and skilled laboratory professionals.
