Biochemistry
Biochemistry is the study of the chemistry of living things. It unites biology, environmental sciences, medicine and mathematics. It enhances the meeting of basic needs such as health, food, energy, clothing, shelter and clean water and air. Biochemistry offers a variety of career options right from pharmacy to industry.
mLAC offers aspiring students quality study options in bio-chemistry. Our competent and committed faculty leverage the power of technology in enabling learning of practical experiments. The big plus is also that we offer in-house projects for students. The academic administration includes mentor monitoring systems.
