Department of Biochemistry
The Department of Biochemistry plays a critical role in the education of medical students by focusing on the biochemical processes fundamental to human health and disease. The department offers in-depth instruction incovers key areas such as molecular biology, enzymology, and metabolic pathways, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of the biochemical mechanisms underlying physiological functions and clinical practices.
Like all the other departments, teaching is integrated horizontally and vertically giving students an opportunity to perform hands-on laboratory practical sessions in every module. They get competency in testing and use these laboratory results to interpret patient scenarios in the simulation Centre and later during clinical clerkship. Besides teaching, there is ongoing research at the BL2TH with a major focus on cancer.
A notable feature of the program is its emphasis on practical experience. Students engage in laboratory sessions that include hands-on experiments using up-to-date biochemistry tools and techniques. These practical sessions are designed to enhance students' skills in analytical methods, data interpretation, and experimental design.
Additionally, the department is dedicated to advancing biochemistry research and integrating the latest scientific discoveries into its curriculum. Faculty members are actively involved in research projects that contribute to the field and support the broader goals of global health equity. The Department of Biochemistry’s commitment to both education and research ensures that students receive a robust and current education in medical biochemistry.
