Para-Clinical

Department of Biochemistry, Pathology & Microbiology

Unraveling the Biochemical Basis of Health and Disease Mechanisms

Departmental Overview

This department Bridges fundamental cellular chemistry with clinical disease mechanisms. Students investigate the metabolic pathways of fasting and nutrition, cellular injury, inflammation, hematological disorders, and pathogenic microorganisms, ensuring rigorous scientific diagnostic competency.

Clinical Applications

Biochemical monitoring of ketosis, lipid profiles, and liver enzymes during fasting therapy
Histopathological correlation with chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases
Identification of infectious pathogens and sterile infection control in hospital environments
Analysis of urine pathological constituents in metabolic and renal disorders

Practical & Hands-On Training

Colorimetric and spectrophotometric biochemical estimations
Histopathological slide examination of neoplasms, granulomas, and cellular degenerations
Microbiological Gram staining, Acid-Fast staining, and aseptic culturing
Clinical urinalysis and peripheral blood smear examination
