COMPARATIVE SUDY OF BIOCHEMISTRY IN PAKISTAN AND
USA
The Department of Biochemistry now covers such a wide range that it is difficult to draw
a demarcation around biochemistry it provides a multidisciplinary and collaborative
setting that brings together cell biologists, neurochemists , clinical biochemists,
biophysicists, nutritionists, enzymologist, geneticists, systems/computational biologists
and structural biologists which provides the foundations of pathology, pharmacology,
physiology, genetics. The research programs of most of the faculty within the
Department revolved around these central themes. Major projects within the
Department involved the understanding of the mechanism and regulation of enzymes,
clinical chemistry, biotechnology ,behavioral neuropharmacology, protein-protein
interactions, characterization of proteins in disease conditions using 2-DE and Mass
Spectrometry, western blotting, HPLC and the structure of proteins using biophysical
methods such as ultracentrifugation and electron microscopy.
BIOCHEMISTRY IN PAKISTAN
The Pakistan Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology was founded in 1963 with
the name as Pakistan Society of Biochemists. Prof. M.I.D. Chughtai and Prof. M. Ataur
Rehman were its founding President and Secretary, respectively. Initial name of the
Society was changed to the current one in the year 1997 in line with the international
trends. Ever since its establishment the Society has been working to promote the sciences
of biochemistry, molecular biology and biotechnology in the country. With the growth of
scientific activities in general, the activity in biochemical sciences has also grown with
increased number of scientists working in this field in the country.
The Society holds its biennial science conferences at different major venues of the
country. These conferences are well attended by the scientists from all over the country
and from abroad. The Society also supports symposia, seminars and other events
organized by the individual institutions and is represented on the international fora like the
International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB http://www.iubmb.org/ )
and the Federation of Asian and Oceanian Biochemists and Molecular Biologists
(FAOBMB http://www.faobmb.net/ ). The Society publishes Pakistan Journal of
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology a quarterly research journal.

Subsidiary student teaching remains an important role of department faculty. The
Biochemistry faculty members are principally involved in the first Basic Science
course, Molecules, Genes, and Cells to approximately 1200 students per year.
Graduate students are the leaders of tomorrow and play a critical role in keeping the
department at the forefront of international research. Many of whom went on to
distinguished careers in Biochemistry like faculty at the world renowned Universities like
Harvard University and NIH USA .
Over the years, faculty in the Department of Biochemistry has received considerable
recognition, including receipt of major University awards, election to the National
Academy of Sciences, International Advisory committee members and International
Scientific Society Council members. We are proud of our history and current status, and
we strive towards continued excellence in research, training, and service in the field of
biochemistry.

BIOCHEMISTRY IN USA
Biochemistry has become the foundation for understanding all biological processes. The
knowledge and methods developed by biochemists are applied to all fields of medicine,
in agriculture and in many chemical and health related industries. Biochemistry is also
unique in providing teaching and research in both protein structure and function, and
genetic engineering, the two basic components of the rapidly expanding field of
biotechnology.
You can option to take this course with a year of study in the USA; an exchange
programme with the University of Toledo in Ohio, which has been running for over 30
years. The University of Toledo was named as a top global player when it comes to
taking biotechnology research from the laboratory to the world, and has been
recognised by the American Society of Landscape Architects as one of the 22 most
beautiful landscaped campuses in the United States.
