Innovating Teaching-Learning Methods in the Department of Biochemistry

  • 2024-02-09

In accordance with the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) guidelines, the Department of Biochemistry organized a seminar series for MBBS students of Batch 23-24. This initiative, led by Dr. Juhi Aggarwal, Professor and Head of the Department of Biochemistry, aimed to enhance the academic experience by implementing diverse teaching-learning methods. The seminar series brought together MBBS students, postgraduate students, and faculty members, contributing to a dynamic learning environment.

Seminar Details: The seminar series, held on various dates, featured presentations from Batch A and Batch B. Each session focused on relevant topics within the field of biochemistry, including the : nucleic acid chemistry,Structure of DNA& RNA,Urea cycle and disorders,Free radicals & antioxidants,gastric & pancreatic function test,significance of isoenzymes . The responsibility of moderating these sessions was distributed among the Assistant& associate Professors of the department.
