M. Sc. Biochemistry

The M.Sc. Biochemistry program aims to develop the young students' minds to question, seek, and understand the molecular basis of life, and it integrates concepts such as biomolecular structure, enzymology, metabolism, molecular biology, and cellular regulation. The program fosters scientific aptitude in students and encourages them to engage in research within the field of biochemistry. The course will provide a solid foundation for all the students regardless of background, and they will gain a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of biochemistry at an advanced level, including clinical and research aspects, with special attention to current developments in the discipline. By the end of the course, students will gain expertise in the latest biochemical techniques and learn the applications of the basic science to the field of modern research.

The curriculum covers core areas such as biomolecular structure and function, enzymology, metabolism, bioenergetics, molecular biology, genetic engineering, immunochemistry, and cell signaling. Emphasis is placed on understanding biochemical pathways and their relevance to health, disease, and biotechnology. Emerging areas such as proteomics, genomics, metabolomics, bioinformatics, and systems biology are also introduced to align students with current scientific advancements.

A key strength of the M.Sc. Biochemistry program is its strong laboratory component. Students receive hands-on training in advanced biochemical, molecular, and analytical techniques. The program includes seminars, project work, and a dissertation, enabling students to engage in independent research and gain exposure to real-world scientific challenges.
