Biochemistry & Molecular Biology

The Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at Bangladesh Medical University (BMU) serves as a vital academic and diagnostic foundation for postgraduate medical education, clinical biochemistry, and advanced biomolecular research. The department decodes the chemical mechanisms, metabolic pathways, and genetic factors that underpin health and human disease.

Key Focus Areas & Functions

• Postgraduate Education: Offers specialized academic and clinical training programs (M.Phil, MD) designed to produce skilled medical biochemists, researchers, and clinical diagnosticians.

• Clinical & Laboratory Diagnostics: Operates advanced laboratory services that support routine clinical biochemistry, therapeutic drug monitoring, and specialized metabolic evaluations essential for tertiary patient care.

• Molecular & Biomolecular Research: Conducts cutting-edge research in translational medicine, cardiovascular and renal biomarkers, metabolic disorders, diabetes, and molecular genetics (e.g., gene polymorphisms and nutritional genomics).

• Interdisciplinary Support: Provides fundamental biochemical and molecular insights that bridge basic sciences with clinical departments like Internal Medicine, Nephrology, Cardiology, and Endocrinology.
