About
The Department of Biochemistry imparts the knowledge of various biochemical reactions of different metabolic pathways in normal & pathological conditions at the molecular level. In addition to the teaching program, the Department has a pivotal role in the diagnosis of diseases. The departmental laboratories are equipped with the latest fully automated and semi-automated instruments where almost all types of investigations are available. The **Immulite-1000**, an automatic chemiluminescent system, is fully operational and used for specialized tests like hormonal assays, cancer markers, diabetes profile, cardiac markers, anemia profile, inflammation markers, and drug assays.
The Department is housed on the first floor of Chirayu Medical College & Hospital, Bhopal and has excellent faculty rooms, student practical laboratories, a demonstration room, a departmental library, and the “Central Research Laboratory” of the Institute. The Department is currently headed by **Dr. Manishi Singh**.
