🧪 Department of Biochemistry
Mamta Medical College & Hospital, Siwan
The Department of Biochemistry at Mamta Medical College & Hospital (MMCH), Siwan, is a cornerstone of pre-clinical medical education. It serves as a bridge between the basic sciences and clinical medicine, helping students understand the chemical basis of life and the molecular mechanisms that sustain human health and disease.
Our department combines state-of-the-art laboratories, experienced faculty, and an innovative curriculum designed as per National Medical Commission (NMC) guidelines. We focus on empowering MBBS students with the scientific knowledge and diagnostic skills necessary to excel in the modern medical landscape.
🔬 What is Biochemistry? Why Does It Matter?
Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes and substances that occur within living organisms. In medicine, it explains the “why and how” of diseases, offering insight into diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
At MMCH, our teaching methodology combines theory, experimentation, clinical relevance, and applied biochemistry, ensuring that students understand the core concepts while also learning their real-world medical applications.
