Medical biochemistry is a branch of science that explores the chemical processes and molecular mechanisms underlying human health and disease. The course focuses on the structure and function of biomolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids, as well as their roles in metabolism, genetic regulation, and cellular signaling. Students learn about enzymatic reactions, metabolic pathways, and the biochemical basis of physiological functions and diseases. 

Emphasis is placed on understanding how biochemical imbalances contribute to medical conditions like diabetes, metabolic disorders, and genetic diseases. The course also covers topics such as nutrition, bioenergetics, and the role of hormones in metabolism. Laboratory sessions may be included to provide hands-on experience in biochemical analysis, diagnostic techniques, and the interpretation of clinical test results. 

By integrating biochemistry with medical sciences, this course helps students develop a strong foundation for understanding disease mechanisms, drug actions, and clinical diagnostics. It is essential for medical, pharmacy, and health sciences students, providing them with the knowledge needed to apply biochemical principles in clinical practice and research.
