Achievements & Awards received by Students in Year 2022-23

An outstanding social outreach activity was done in the department of Biochemistry. A one day seminar cum workshop was organised on 15th October 2022 for 30 students from different discipline and different colleges of KGMU, Era University, Integral University, State Ayurvedic College and Unity College, Lucknow in the department of Biochemistry, King George’s Medical University, Lucknow. This program was organised as part of Scientific Social Responsibility (SSR) of Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) Project of Govt of India under the Principal Investigator, Dr. Gyanendra Kumar Sonkar, Additional Professor. The aim of the workshop was to promote science and research for young budding minds.

National Medical Laboratory Professional week (NMLPW) is an annual celebration of medical laboratory professionals who play a vital role in every aspect of healthcare. We celebrated the Laboratory Professional week in the department of Biochemistry, King George’s Medical University, Lucknow on 12th May, 2023 in collaboration with Quidel Ortho team. The purpose was to highlight and appreciate our laboratory professionals. It began with an introductory session followed by two small talks on emphasising the importance of biochemical investigations on diagnosis of diseases and also on laboratory pre-analytical errors. Later, there were few activities like fun Quiz and word riddles related to laboratory. The event was successfully concluded with cake cutting ceremony, certificate distribution and felicitation of our laboratory professionals.
