The Department of Biochemistry aims to enhance understanding of chemical structures and processes that constitute the basis of  health and disease.

• The teaching of Biochemistry focusses on the structure and function of cellular components and bio-molecules as well as integrates the application of this knowledge in a clinical scenario.
• This is essential to understand the complex biochemical interactions within the human body both in health and disease.
• The  Department of Biochemistry encourages small group discussions/interactions especially during the practical sessions. This enables students to understand concepts and orients them towards planning and pursuing research projects.
• The department contributes significantly to lab diagnostics by virtue of state of the art facilities, latest equipment, skilled laboratory personnel and offers round the clock services in an effort to provide quality health care service to patients.
