About the Course
Biochemical laboratory tests play a crucial role in the diagnosis of diseases as well as monitoring of their treatment. The results of these tests are interpreted to diagnose the disease in around 70% of all patients. Hence, it is pertinent to have a detailed knowledge of all the biochemical laboratory tests and assays.
With this idea in mind, we have designed an excellent course that gives you complete information on all the biochemical laboratory techniques.
In this course we will begin by learning about the frequently used techniques in the laboratory like electrophoresis, blotting techniques, polymerase chain reaction etc, followed by Liver Function Tests (LFT) and Renal Function Tests (RFT) in great detail.

Course Delivery Format
This course is delivered entirely online. It consists of a series of comprehensive lectures by a professor in the subject, appropriately annotated with slides, animations and wherever necessary, interactive content. The delivery offers tremendous flexibility. You may pause a teacher while you refer to your textbooks (not includes) and to take notes. You may also rewind a segment to listen to the teacher again or you may skip a slide or two if you already know that bit. You may bookmark a segment that you wish to return to later, maybe to refresh just before your exams. While the lessons in this course may be arranged in a particular order based on our curriculum, you have the flexibility to take them in order of your preference based on your personalized learning needs.
Benefits
While this course is to help you learn the subject from an online faculty, it may help you in several ways even if you are already enrolled in some medical, dental or paramedical school. Many of our students felt that the format in which this course is delivered has helped them to cope up against the fast paced lectures in actual class – it’s like having a TV remote in class to self-pace your teacher. Animations help understand concepts better by making concepts easy to understand… and difficult to forget.
