Department of Biochemistry
Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. The Department of Biochemistry at EGSP NYMC provides students with a deep understanding of the molecular basis of health and disease. This department is essential for understanding metabolism, nutrition, and clinical biochemistry.
Our department is equipped with a modern biochemistry lab where students are trained in various biochemical techniques, including spectrophotometry, chromatography, and electrophoresis. We emphasize the importance of biochemical pathways and their role in maintaining homeostasis.
Course Objectives
- To provide students with a comprehensive understanding of human biochemistry, including metabolism and molecular biology.
- To train students in various biochemical techniques for the analysis of clinical samples.
- To understand the biochemical basis of nutrition and the effects of natural therapies on metabolic processes.
- To foster an understanding of clinical biochemistry and its role in disease diagnosis and management.
