Biochemistry is a discipline deals with the study of chemistry of bio-molecules, the reactions going on in the cell, their mechanism and detailed study: how and why these reactions happen, the production of energy in the form of ATP and the ways to utilize this energy. Our well-developed curriculum provide ample opportunities for students to learn about the biochemistry of biomolecules, hormones, environment, nutrition, disease, enzymes, plants and metabolism of various biomolecules. Practical courses in the degree program are included to develop the practical approach among students. Biochemists are curious as to HOW and WHY biological processes happen. They use novel techniques to get structural information.
