Biochemistry serves as a pivotal discipline across all branches of Biology and Life Sciences, encompassing the chemical nature, functional dynamics, structural complexities, energetics, and the intricate pathways governing the synthesis and degradation of both simple and complex biological and cellular molecules. Its overarching goal is to elucidate the molecular and cellular mechanisms underpinning development, health, and disease, with profound applications in Biotechnology, Microbiology, and Medicine.
The Biochemistry department at FOST stands as one of the most distinguished and highly regarded faculties among Pakistani universities, owing to its strategic location, the highly competitive nature of its PhD program, and an exemplary student-to-faculty ratio. The department is further bolstered by the extensive teaching experience of its faculty, the high volume of research publications, and the substantial external research grants and support garnered from both national and international organizations. Additionally, the faculty fosters robust interdisciplinary collaborations in cutting-edge research domains, such as Nano-Biology, Bioinformatics, Cancer Biology, Medical Biotechnology, and Stem Cell Biology, thereby positioning itself at the forefront of scientific innovation.
