The department mainly teaches biochemistry and clinical biochemistry in its various branches, whether at the undergraduate or postgraduate level. Moreover, the department coordinates, supervises and teaches some required courses at the postgraduate level, in addition to that, the same courses are taught in the Bachelor's Pharmacy program (drug design) with credit hours system, on the other hand, the department is interested in conducting advanced research in the fields of basic and clinical biochemistry, for example, evaluating levels of markers of heart and circulatory functions in some diseases, stem cells and gene expansion associated with some diseases.
The teaching goals of the department: - It is to acquaint the student with the chemical and biological reactions that occur in living tissues, in addition to giving him the ability to understand and explain from the chemical point of view many natural and pathological phenomena in the human body, these goals are achieved through three main axes:
1) Developing the student’s knowledge by defining the biochemical reactions of the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins within the human body, giving some information that indicates new developments in science in modern fields such as genetic engineering, molecular biology, and diagnosingof diseases through blood indications, in addition to explaining the theoretical and practical foundations for using the devices necessary to study basic and clinical biochemistry, and the quantitative and qualitative definition of the contents of vital fluids for humans such as blood, urine, saliva, and bile.
2) Developing the student's technical, cognitive and deductive abilities by training him to understand and use many research methods in biochemistry such as the use of centrifuges and spectrophotometers, as well as training the student to evaluate, interpret and translate clinical information for normal and pathological human samples used in medical analyzes, as well as Training postgraduate students on modern technologies
3) Developing and deepening the student's ethical scientific values by conducting direct dialogues or giving instructions on the ethics, principles and applications of using biochemical and clinical information in various fields of pharmaceutical work, whether in private pharmacies, hospital pharmacies, pharmaceutical companies, laboratories and research centers.
