Introduction
The Department of Physiology and Biochemistry is one of the oldest
Departments of the University of Veterinary & Animal Sciences, Lahore.
Being two very fundamental subjects of the Faculty of Biosciences it
serves as basis of academic architect. The Department has produced many
renowned veterinarians. After the up-gradation of this Institute from
College to University, the Department has assumed a wider role. Today,
the Department offers biochemistry to six different undergraduate degree
programs as well as postgraduate degrees in Physiology and Biochemistry
independently. The Department also enjoys a learned faculty with four
PhD, four MPhil, one MSc and one DVM.
