Introduction
Medical Biochemistry is the study of the chemical
processes and metabolism in human health and disease. The closely related subject of Molecular Biology is also a part of the Biochemistry integrated curriculum of MBBS. Biochemistry is an interdisciplinary subject that is taught in the first two undergraduate years of MBBS. In practical Biochemistry, the students learn the basic principles and procedures of biochemical tests in blood and body fluids that are helpful in the diagnosis of disease and decision making. The biochemistry lab is
equipped with all the required chemicals and equipment like Microlabs, Spectrophotometers, pH meters, incubator, and thermocycler, to name a few.
Biochemistry department is located on the first floor of
the Basic Sciences Block of HITEC-IMS.
Objectives
- To build in the students a sound understanding of the fundamental concepts of biochemistry and
their application in the clinical practice. -
To impart quality education to shape the students into thorough professionals by providing them a
learning environment, congenial to enhance their analytical, problem solving, research and
communication skills. -
To develop psychomotor skills in the students for practical work based on the principles and clinical
correlation of various Lab investigations and instrumentation analysis.
