Biochemistry is the most progressive field of Medicine globally, trying to explain
diseases at the molecular levels, evolve early diagnostic and novel therapeutic
approaches with the aim of relieving patients of their pain and sufferings.
The Department of Biochemistry at Subharti Medical College is working relentlessly
with the same motto. The main purpose of our Department is to provide world class
Medical education and hands on training in Medical Biochemistry and research to
undergraduate and post-graduate students, which we try to achieve with the commitment
of our dedicated team of faculty members, who being themselves trained in the premier
institutes of our country, can not only guide, but also inspire students and nurture
their zeal to learn.
The Department of Biochemistry has been developed with the elaborate infrastructure
as prescribed by the Medical Council of India and has grown up as one of the largest
departments in the State of Uttar Pradesh. The department caters to all the facets
of Biochemistry besides being recommended as a referral investigative centre.
It is backed up with non-clinical, paraclinical and clinical departments of all
specialties of Subharti Medical College, Meerut.
The Institutional central library of the college has a large and impressive collection
of over ten thousand books of all specialties and the library subscribes to the
journals of different subjects, both Indian and Foreign. The volumes of journals
of three consecutive years are maintained in the respective departments, while the
old issues are maintained for reference in the central library. This is apart from
an exhaustive departmental library with internet facility for ready reference.
The clinical division of the department of Biochemistry caters to the need of the
parent 740 bedded CHHATRAPATI SHIVAJI SUBHARTI HOSPITAL, MEERUT, and functions round
the clock. In 2008, the department was allowed the permission for starting the PG
degree course vide letter of permission no. U.12012/231/2008-ME (P-II)from ministry
