Department of Bio-chemistry

Course Offered
 Department of Biochemistry offers 270 hours course during the first three Terms (1/2) years of MBBS course.

 Course objectives:
 Biochemistry deals with the chemical language of life and living processes. The scope of biochemistry is as vast as life itself. Every aspect of life-birth, growth, reproduction, aging and death involves biochemistry. Every moments of life is packed with hundreds of bio-chemical reactions. Advances in biochemistry have tremendous impact on understanding of health, and diseases in humans. Applications of the knowledge of biochemistry in the laboratory for the diagnosis of diseases; in the manufacture of products of biochemistry in laboratory for the ect.) form genetic engineering; and in the products (like insulin, growth hormone, interferon benefited mankind and their living styles. The course emphasizes the basic and applied aspects of biochemistry as it relates to the clinical medicine.

Course Objectives
At the end of the course in Biochemistry the students should be able to:

·          Demonstrate basic knowledge on major bio-molecules, enzymes, hormones and nutrients and of fundamental chemical principals involved in body mechanism upon which life process depends.

·          Demonstrate skills in performing and interpreting Bio-chemistry laboratory tests and procedures with emphasis on those used in Bangladesh

·          Demonstrate skills in using the modern biochemical appliances.

·          Equip themselves with requisite knowledge for higher studies and research

·          Develop sound attitude towards the need for continuing self-education.
