Biochemistry

It focuses on living systems, their chemical substances and pathways, and information transfer systems. It helps in understanding life process at most basic level.

As a biochemist student you will study the chemistry of organisms and relate it to the functions of living systems. This knowledge is used finding the cause of the diseases and other fields of medicine and life sciences.

Immunology
 

Medical biology-Immunology

The study of all aspects of immune system including its structure, function, disorders, immunization, role of pathogens.

Genetics

It studies the concepts and techniques of inheritance, development, disease, and evolution in all living organisms and viruses.
