DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY
M.Sc Biochemistry course was started in the year 2016. This programme endeavors to provide students a broad based training in biochemistry with a solid background of basic concepts as well as exposing them to the exciting advancements in the field. In addition to theoretical knowledge, significant emphasis has been given to provide hands on experience to the students in the forefront areas of experimental biochemistry.
The Department of Biochemistry in higher education plays a vital role in understanding the molecular mechanisms that underpin life. It bridges biology and chemistry, focusing on the structure, function, and interactions of biological molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. Through rigorous academic programs and hands-on laboratory training, students gain critical analytical and problem-solving skills that are essential for careers in research, healthcare, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and related fields.
The department is committed to excellence in teaching, research, and innovation. Faculty members are actively involved in research that addresses global challenges. Students are encouraged to participate in research projects, enhancing their learning experience and preparing them for advanced studies or professional careers.
In addition to academic and research excellence, the department fosters interdisciplinary collaboration and ethical scientific inquiry. It emphasizes the importance of scientific communication, critical thinking, and lifelong learning. Graduates are well-equipped to contribute meaningfully to scientific advancement and to apply biochemical knowledge in real-world contexts that benefit society. Ultimately, the Department of Biochemistry serves as a foundation for developing future scientists, educators, and innovators dedicated to improving life and health at the molecular level.
The department syllabus is interesting and encourages the students for higher studies including research. The new and updated syllabus is based on a basic and applied approach with vigor and depth. At the same time precaution is taken to make the syllabus comparable to the syllabi of other universities and the needs of industries and research.
