Biochemistry is a branch of medical science which describes the structure, organization and function of biomolecules at the molecular level. It is not only a preclinical subject taught to first MBBS but also very important in healthcare for diagnosis, prognosis & treatment of various diseases. It plays an important role in manufacture of various biological products. It provides good insight regarding pathophysiology of the various diseases. Biochemical aspects of nutrition play a special role in health & disease. The sound knowledge of biochemistry has revolutionized medical science by providing the tools like genetic engineering, PCR & many more.
Name:- Dr. Sanjyoti Panchbudhe
MBBS, MD (Biochemistry)
It gives us immense pleasure to introduce our head of the department of Biochemistry who strives towards the goal of providing innovative and quality medical education to achieve academic and research excellence in the field of Biochemistry. She completed her graduation from Government Medical college, Nagpur and post-graduation from B.J Medical college, Pune. She has 12 years of teaching and laboratory experience. She is actively involved in teaching various courses like MBBS, Bp TH, DMLT, B BSc and PB BSc Nursing as well as clinical biochemistry laboratory work. She believes that the goal of teaching biochemistry to undergraduate students is to make them understand the scientific basis of the life processes at the molecular level and their relevance in diagnosis, patient care and treatment.
In biochemistry practical laboratory, various biochemical tests are performed on different body fluids using simple as well as advance instruments. It enables students to understand the importance of biochemical tests in diagnosis, patient care and treatment.
Research laboratory of biochemistry is well equipped. Faculty and students are encouraged to do research, present and publish their scientific paper. It also extends hands towards interdisciplinary research.
It is furnished with adequate audio-visual aids. It is a place for practical instructions, demonstrations, small group discussion etc.
Departmental library is open for faculty as well as for students. It provides an opportunity to use it on regular basis. It has a total number of 86 books.
Clinical biochemical tests are used to confirm the diagnosis, to start rational treatment, to screen the people at risk, to monitor the disease progress, to monitor response to therapy, to explore the cause and the mechanism of the disease.
Biochemistry department caters to the diagnostic services provided to patients in routine as well as emergency laboratory. OPD and IPD services are provided round the clock. Rapid and reliable results are provided with the help of latest technology, equipment’s, excellent quality control programs and laboratory information system.
