The course aims to provide students an understanding of basic principles of structure and functions of various elements that constitute living cells.

The curriculum is structured into three distinct portions with logical approach to the subject:

• Nature of bio-molecules
• Synthesis, breakdown and biological functions of essential bio-molecules
• Understanding of chemical and molecular processes which forms the basis of health and disease

The lab work assists in elucidating the concepts discussed in lectures and seminars. Students are also introduced to the concepts of human chemistry where measurement of bio-molecules is used for diagnosis and monitoring of different disease states.
