Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. Medical Biochemistry is concerned with the chemistry and metabolism in human health and disease. It is imperative for the medical students to understand the normal functioning of the body with respect to the cellular chemical processes. Biochemistry is also closely related to molecular biology, the study of the molecular mechanisms by which genetic information translates into the processes of life. It is an interdisciplinary subject which is a rapidly evolving science, also concerned with biochemical investigations required for diagnosis of disease. The discipline of Biochemistry has been established at the HITEC-IMS as a part of MBBS curriculum. System of education will be modular with horizontal as well as vertical integration with other medical sciences. 

Guidelines
