The major focuses include the basics in Biophysical Chemistry, Biomolecules, Enzymes and Bioenergetics, Intermediary Metabolism for Botany and Zoology graduates, while for biotechnology students the major thrust areas include Physical aspects of Biochemistry, Biomolecules, Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism
The department of Biochemistry was established in the year 1994 and since then it has offered B.Sc Biochemistry. to impart extensive proficiency in Biochemistry to the student community. The Department offers an affable environment for knowledge improvement, training and for individual development.
03Objective & Scope
The primary objectives of the course are:-
1) To give students a solid foundation in biological chemistry.
2) To develop analytical and critical-thinking skills that allow independent exploration of biological phenomena through the scientific method.
3) To introduce students to modern methods of biochemical experimentation within the disciplines of biochemistry and molecular biology.
Scope:
Biochemistry is a discipline that offers a challenging environment, and in return nurtures the candidate's future. The curriculum is framed in such a way that will allow students to develop knowledge and gain expertise to meet demands of voluminous opportunities at various capacities in diagnostic, research institute and pharmaceutical companies.
The department of Biochemistry is a vibrant and ambitious division of the college with qualified academic staff and students. The department is a very successful unit of the college which is firmly committed to excellence both in research and teaching. The department adopts an integrated approach embracing the view that tomorrow's breakthrough are likely to occur at the interface of traditional biological sub-divisions. A degree in Biochemistry is the first step towards a wide variety of careers options in pharmaceutical industries,food industries, in hospital services, and in many biological and medical research divisions.
