The Department of Biochemistry at Saraswathi Institute of Medical Sciences studies the structure, composition, and chemical reactions of substances in living systems, empowering students to conceptualise biochemical events in health and disease. The curriculum offers students opportunities to build a career in a variety of sectors, including research and non-research careers in academia or wherever they choose to work after completing their degree. Core classes cover principles of biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, and genetics, paired with hands-on laboratory training in diagnostic techniques. The department emphasises scientific temper, patient-centred understanding, and continuous self-learning, guided by highly experienced faculty committed to elaborative knowledge and practical exposure for undergraduate and postgraduate students.
