Mission

To provide high quality teaching to the students through traditional classroom teaching and modern audio-visual aids and hands on training on various aspects of biochemistry.

Vision

To ignite young minds from different backgrounds, to understand the world of biochemical reactions through application based learning. This learning would develop their reasoning power and train them to qualify for various national level examinations.

Teaching

The teaching programmes of the Biochemistry department has a fundamental approach to the chemistry of life and convey the strongly unifying contribution of biochemistry and molecular biology to other disciplines.

Laboratory

Our biochemistry Laboratory supplements classroom teaching with practical training. Also supports undergraduate/ ICMR funded projects

Curriculum

The syllabus for I BDS is as per the Dental Council of India Norms. Horizontal Integrated Teaching Module in Basic Medical Sciences is implemented. Biochemistry syllabus encompasses Basic and Clinical Biochemistry with special emphasis on applied aspects.
