Revised Objectives and Outlook of the Biochemistry Department

Mission and Goals of the Department

 

Introduction

 

The field of clinical biochemistry is a scientific method that mainly studies the mechanism of physiological and pathophysiological events, methodology in the process, evaluate the analyses and interpret the changes observed in the results of laboratory tests to rely on progress. Serious advances in technology and its growing growth and development help prevent, follow up and consult in the treatment of diseases.

 

Vision & Perspective
