The Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology was established in 2010 and the program has been established in 2013. The department involves both research and academic activities. Multidisciplinary knowledge like Physics, Chemistry, Molecular Biology, Immunology, Plant Biochemistry, Nutritional Biochemistry, Biotechnology and Protein Engineering, Enzymology, Chemistry of Natural Products, Microbiology, Clinical Biochemistry and Computer Science are acquired in this department. The department is conducting a 4 years BS in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology program. Majors have the opportunity through extensive coursework, Laboratories, Seminars and several projects to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to enter the workforce or to go on with further graduate education leading to MS or PhD degree in Biochemistry or related discipline at home and abroad. The departmental faculties are involved in various research programs in the world. They also take part regularly in the National/International seminar/ symposium and workshops.
