The word “Medical Biochemistry” and the name mentioned above can never be mentioned separately as far as the recognition and the importance of this subject are concerned. The reason is that she was among the intellectuals/initiators, who realistically felt the need of this subject of biochemistry to be recognized as a separate entity and convinced the Punjab University’s Medical Educationists that the subject of Medical Biochemistry should be given a greater status and must be recognized as a separate subject, and not part of Physiology. Finally, she achieved her objectives.

Today the subject of Biochemistry is considered as the mother of all Medical Sciences, internationally.

The Department of Biochemistry of this college was started in a small area, confined to the basement of Surgimed Hospital, under the esteemed supervision of Prof. Dr. Tasnim Majid, in 1997-8. She had just retired as the Principal of Fatima Jinnah Medical College and as the Head of Biochemistry Department at that time. Her services for biochemistry and the teaching experience of more than three decades, made her the most suitable person to become the head of the department of Biochemistry of LM&DC and is, up-to date now. Under her supervision the department flourished according to the latest standards. In early 2000, the whole college was shifted to this new campus. Over last 5-6 years, this department has improved amazingly.

Complete teaching facilities related to the subject of biochemistry are available. The department has a fully equipped laboratory, sufficient enough to train the First Professional M.B;B.S and B.D.S. students. Among the teaching faculty, the department has One professor (mentioned above), One Associate Professor, One Assistant Professor, Three experienced Senior Lecturers and a good number of demonstrators.
