Welcome to the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Shahjalal University of Science and Technology. This department provides an excellent environment for the study of biochemistry and molecular life sciences. Our mission is to excel in research and to use our available scientific foundation to build and deliver high-quality education and training to our undergraduate and graduate students. The department provides outstanding career opportunities for faculties and first-rate training facilities and environments for undergraduate and graduate students.
Biochemistry and molecular biology are central to biomedical sciences and biotechnology. Biochemists and molecular biologists study the structure and function of components of living cells, as a basis for understanding biological and physiological processes. Their discoveries and understanding of how molecules interact have revolutionized approaches to treating diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and influenza improved our use of chemicals in agriculture, and developed novel biotechnologies all aimed at improving the quality of life.
The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is a research-oriented department with key strengths in molecular biology, genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, microbiology, and immunology. Currently, the department has eighteen (18) teachers and provides a dynamic environment that attracts students from all over Bangladesh. The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology is one of the prominent departments in Bangladesh. We are located in the extension of the Academic Building-A of the University campus. We invite you to browse our website and welcome inquiries from students interested in pursuing our undergraduate and graduate studies as well as research training.
