WELCOME TO THE DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY & MOLECULAR MEDICINE

Introduction

The study of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine in the MBBS curriculum is of paramount importance as it deals with the biochemical processes in living things with emphasis on the basic knowledge of molecular biology. It is a pivotal foundation for the medical students in becoming highly motivated and accomplished medical professionals. Respectively, members of the Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine department aspire in delivering the knowledge to the pre-clinical students to our best effort and commitment.

In line with the vision of the faculty in promoting research, members of the department has and continues to contribute toward the research development in the faculty. Research findings covering various research area including endocrinology, cancers, natural products, nutrition and molecular virology have been published in numerous indexed and peer-reviewed journals in addition to many awards of recognitions from the scientific community. Very much so, members of the department will always aspire toward excellence both in teaching as well as in research.
