Program Description | Department of Biochemistry Sciences

About Department
The Department of Biochemistry is a vital academic unit concerned with human metabolism, including anabolic and catabolic processes of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids that generate energy and sustain physiological functions. The department emphasizes understanding metabolic disorders such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, liver and kidney dysfunctions, and hormonal imbalances.

It is taught within faculties of Medicine, Pharmacy, and Nursing, and encompasses specialized fields such as clinical, molecular, and pharmaceutical biochemistry. Modern laboratories and research opportunities are available to train students in medical diagnostics and laboratory analyses.
To graduate highly qualified specialists in medical and applied biochemistry and molecular biology, equipped with the scientific and practical skills necessary to compete in local and regional markets, manage medical laboratories, and conduct advanced research that contributes to community service and environmental development.
To prepare graduates distinguished in applied biochemistry and molecular biology, with strong academic and technical competencies, capable of advanced research that supports community needs and promotes sustainable development.
• Develop specialized scientific stuff in biochemistry with strong capacities for research, innovation, and application in medical, laboratory, and pharmaceutical fields.
• Provide high-quality education through specialized faculty, aligned with international standards and labor market requirements.
• Strengthen collaboration with governmental ministries (e.g., Health, Environment), companies, and national and international institutions for knowledge and expertise exchange.
• Enhance students’ technical and analytical skills through training on advanced biochemical research technologies, including automated analyzers, electrophoresis, gel separation, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and immunoassays.
• Foster theoretical and practical competencies via collaborative learning, equipping graduates with advanced scientific and technical expertise.
