The members of the faculty carry out research projects independently as well as in collaboration with other clinical departments. Recently, one of our undergraduate students, Mr. Izhaan Balan, was awarded an ICMR Grant for his research work conducted under the guidance of Dr. Ajay Warade.

Publications in national and international journals are regularly contributed by the department. The Department of Biochemistry aims at:

1. Achieving excellence in medical education.
2. Building and maintaining a Biochemistry teaching program designed to educate and train students to become competent future clinicians, research scientists, and educators in Biochemistry.
3. Establishing a research program committed to generating new knowledge and understanding in Human Biochemistry and translating this knowledge to improve health and disease prevention.
4. Providing state-of-the-art diagnostic services through clinical Biochemistry laboratories.
5. Offering specialized consultations in diagnostic laboratories.
6. Promoting professional collaboration in teaching and research at national and international levels.
7. Conducted the first-ever Intercollegiate Biochemistry Quiz Competition for MBBS students—“BIOQUEST”—on June 26th, 2025, with participation from 10 colleges across Maharashtra. The event also featured a Poster Competition for PGDMLT/DMLT students, a Rangoli Competition for nursing students, and a Stage Play centered on Biochemistry topics performed by UG MBBS students.
8. Conducted the second edition of BIOQUEST on May 8th, 2026, focusing on research topics. A total of 14 first-year student teams presented on various topics—such as the doctor-patient relationship, PCOS, stress-related physiological changes during exams, impact of gaming in children, and the effect of caffeine on exam-going students—evaluated by a distinguished panel of judges including professors from Psychiatry, Pharmacology, Pathology, and Anatomy.
