Happy International Women’s Day 2026

Image
Dear Women Biochemists, Happy International Women’s Day 2026 On this special occasion, we celebrate the strength, dedication, and achievements of women in the field of Biochemistry. As a vibrant academic community in a women’s college, we take pride in the contributions of women scientists who have advanced biochemical research and inspired future generations. Globally, pioneers such as Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin , Gerty Cori , Rosalind Franklin , and Jennifer Doudna have made remarkable contributions to understanding biomolecular structures, metabolic pathways, DNA structure, and gene-editing technologies. India has also produced many outstanding women scientists who have made significant contributions to biochemistry and molecular biology. Dr. Kamala Sohonie Dr. Kamala Sohonie , one of the first Indian women biochemists, made important discoveries on the nutritional value of proteins and vitamins. Dr. Asima Chatterjee made pioneering contributions to natural product chemistry and med...

National Science Day 2026

Image
  National Science Day 2026 On this National Science Day, we celebrate the spirit of discovery inspired by Sir C. V. Raman and renew our responsibility as members of the Biochemistry community. Biochemistry is not confined to laboratories — it protects public health, explains diseases at the molecular level, improves nutrition, develops medicines, and safeguards our environment. From understanding diabetes and cancer to addressing antibiotic resistance and food safety, our science directly touches human life every day. Let us commit to: • Practicing ethical and responsible research • Promoting scientific temper in society • Combating misinformation about health and medicines • Using our knowledge for community awareness and public welfare Science becomes meaningful only when it benefits humanity. May our experiments not only produce results but also solutions. “Research with integrity, teach with passion, and serve society with science.” Happy National Science Day! 2026.

Antibiotic Resistance

Image
What is Antibiotic Resistance? Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change their biochemical pathways or genes so that an antibiotic no longer affects them. 👉 In simple terms: The drug still exists — but the bacteria has “learned biochemistry” to defeat it. Biochemical Mechanisms behind Resistance (Important for Biochemistry Students) Enzyme production β-lactamase enzyme breaks penicillin antibiotics Target modification Ribosome mutation → antibiotic cannot bind Efflux pumps Bacteria pumps the drug out of the cell Metabolic pathway alteration Alternative pathway synthesis (e.g., folate pathway change) Biofilm formation Protective biochemical matrix around bacteria Why It Is Increasing (Public Awareness Points) Taking antibiotics for viral fever / cold Stopping medicine once symptoms reduce Self-medication (medical shop purchase without prescription) Use of antibiot...
