This book provides a solid foundation in basic biochemistry and the essential role of medical biochemistry in understanding health and disease. It helps students connect molecular events with the human body’s structure and function in both health and illness.

It introduces the concept of Early Clinical Exposure (ECE), aligning with the latest curriculum adopted by National Medical Commission (NMC). It includes case studies with questions and answers, offering a practical approach to learning medical biochemistry. It aims to equip the medical students with the knowledge needed for safe and effective work in a biochemistry laboratory from day one.

It will also be useful as a standard textbook of biochemistry for students of nursing, dentistry, physiotherapy, biotechnology, biomedical sciences, ayurveda and undergraduate and postgraduate students of biochemistry.
