About

Biochemistry encompasses molecular genetics, protein science and metabolism. Over the last decades of the 20th century, biochemistry has become successful through these three disciplines at explaining living processes. Almost all areas of the life sciences are being uncovered and developed by biochemical methodology and research.
Undergraduate students of MBBS are being trained in the subject of Medical Biochemistry with this belief that understanding biochemical basis of diseases may help in the practice of clinical medicine. Students have to focus not only on accumulation of factual knowledge of the subject but also on the development of ideas & relationships that will be helpful in their clinical practice.

Goals & Objectives

• To enable undergraduate students to critically evaluate & interpret biochemical basis of biological processes.
• To provide students with the ability to master discovery & translation of new knowledge concerning the molecular basis of life through interdisciplinary research and training.
• To produce aspiring molecular life scientists who can make discoveries in the field of health to prevent, diagnose or treat diseases.
• To make medical, dental & Allied health undergraduate students understand fundamental concepts of biochemistry and to enable them to apply those concepts to the practice of medicine and to enable them to acquire a specialized knowledge and understanding of integral aspects through assignments and research project.
• To develop psychomotor skill in undergraduate students for practical work based on principles of various conventional & specialized lab investigations, instrumentation analysis.
• To introduce students to modern methods of biochemical experimentation and employing those methods to promote research at postgraduate level in the field of clinical & molecular Biochemistry.
