NAAC Seminar Presentation

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 diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, the structure of proteins, lipoprotein structure and functions, eicosanoids, nutrition, and the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism in starvation and well-fed states. The responsibility of moderating these sessions was distributed among the Assistant Professors of the department.
