Education and Career Forum

The board of CBSE has been in the educational front for many years guiding educational institutions and students in their paths of endeavours. Its decision to unveil Clinical Biochemistry as a core subject in the Science stream helped many students find a career for themselves in research and medicine. The main areas that this course thrives on are molecular studies, genomes and genetics, and medical science. All the elements of biochemistry that control life processes are included in the clinical field of Biochemistry which primarily focuses on the therapeutic aspects of health of living organisms. By condensing the content of the discrete studies of toxicology, drug monitoring, and laboratory immunology, it forms a course that adequately covers the underlying factors of health in general. The specific issues are, however, studied discretely in the individual topics of the subject. The major part of it deals with analysis of chemical process within biological systems.
