The Department of Biochemistry at University Medical and Dental College (UMDC) was established in 2003. Since its start, the department has become a strong center for teaching and research in the field of health sciences and Human Biochemistry education at UMDC. It plays a key role in the MBBS program and also supports BDS and biological sciences students.
Biochemistry explains how chemical processes inside the body keep us alive and healthy. With the rapid growth of medical and dental sciences a clear knowledge of biochemistry is now more important than ever.
Our vision is to provide students with high-quality learning in biochemistry that builds their future in medicine, dentistry and research.
The mission of the department is to:
Offer strong academic support for MBBS and BDS students.
Deliver human biochemistry education iin a simple and practical way.
Connect classroom learning with real medical and dental practice.
Encourage curiosity, critical thinking and research among students.
The main objectives of the department are:
To build a strong foundation in biochemistry for all medical and dental students.
To prepare students for higher studies and professional careers.
To promote research and problem-solving in health and life sciences.
To train future doctors, dentists and researchers with confidence and skill.
The Department of Biochemistry is equipped with modern lecture halls, audio-visual tools and a well-structured laboratory. Practical learning is an essential part of the teaching process helping students link theory with practice.
1st Year MBBS & BDS: Qualitative study of biochemical substances.
2nd Year MBBS: Quantitative analysis and advanced laboratory testing.
These facilities allow students to understand clinical biochemistry and gain diagnostic skills for their future careers.
In the MBBS program Biochemistry at UMDC, students study biochemistry during their first two years. The course covers the chemical processes of the human body, focusing on health, disease and clinical applications. Learning is carried out through lectures, tutorials, group discussions and laboratory practice. This helps students connect theory with real medical cases and build a strong foundation for future clinical training.
For the BDS program at UMDC, the Department of Biochemistry for BDS Students offers a specialized course in the first year of BDS. The Biochemistry subject in BDS is designed to highlight biochemical systems most relevant to dental practice, helping BDS students understand how chemical changes in the body are linked with oral health and disease. It also supports dentistry students with a clear and practical understanding of biochemical functions.
The Department of Biochemistry at UMDC is dedicated to providing students with strong practical and academic learning opportunities.
Offers biochemistry lab training for MBBS & BDS students.
Builds understanding of biochemical concepts through hands-on practice.
Promotes teamwork and problem-solving in lab sessions.
Prepares students for clinical and research roles.
