Introduction
The department of Biochemistry of this institute was
established in 1982 after separation from Physiology
Department. Since then the department has been
involved in patient care, teaching & research. The
Department provides, round the clock, 365 days a
year, Clinical Biochemistry Laboratory Services to
all the patients attending SSG Hospital. In addition
to teaching undergraduate MBBS students, department
also conducts classes for Physiotherapy, B.Sc.
Nursing & MLT courses. Postgraduate students
pursuing MD & M.Sc. Medical Biochemistry course are
also trained in our department. The faculty of the
department is actively involved in academics,
research, publications and paper presentations in
various conferences.
