Department of Biochemistry

As new and rapid techniques of dealing with diseases at the molecular level are discovered, students need to be prepared and possess a passion for research. The 3-year Masters in Medical Biochemistry equips students with all the skills required to enter the fascinating world of biochemistry research, and opens up many opportunities in this rapidly growing field.

Courses Offered :

=> MBBS
=> MD Biochemistry

Curriculum :

M.B.B.S. students are initially instructed in the basics, giving them an understanding of the clinical processes involved in biochemistry. Case discussions are used to instruct students in a challenging way. Students are constantly assessed and given additional guidance, as they require it. During clinical postings, students can familiarize themselves with the facilities available in the clinical laboratories. Students also receive hands on training in estimating biochemical parameters, while gaining practical experience in the point-of-care testing of patients at the bedside to assess their condition.

Research and Projects :

Postgraduate students are encouraged to take up research in the various fields of biochemistry. The research laboratory is a boon as it has the resources to allow students to perform clinical research.

Laboratories :

At the biochemistry laboratory, students have access to every kind of equipment for the study of biomolecules. The spacious laboratory has colorimeters, centrifuges, distillation units, electronic balances, microscopes, a flame photometer, automated pipettes and dispensers.
