"We are dedicated to understanding the mechanisms by which cells carry out their many functions in complete, molecular detail."

The most widely taught interdisciplinary biological science is probably biochemistry. It takes you into the fascinating world of plant, animal and microbial cells, biomolecules, clinical diagnosis, the molecular basis of cellular functions, immune system, genetic basis of diseases, clinical research and biotechnological applications.

The Department of Biochemistry at Hislop College offers its students an environment for proper learning, research and collaborative studies. Currently it conducts under graduate and post graduate programs in biochemistry. The department is a recognized place for doctoral research in the subject of Biochemistry by RTM Nagpur University. The departmental calendar is planned in a manner to impart maximum learning of the subject in its true sense by giving in depth training and teaching assisted by extensive lab visits, industry visits and guest lectures.

We provide excellent training, experiential learning through research, and close contact with faculty and peer mentors, resulting in a highly motivated proactive learning group.
