About The Department

The Department of Biochemistry was established in 2016 to provide comprehensive Biochemistry education to our students. The department comprises of goal oriented group of highly qualified and experienced faculty members. Research domains

  • Natural product research,
  • Cosmeceutical research,
  • Bioinformatics/Drug discovery research,
  • Nutraceuticals research
  • Animal/Marine/Microbial Biotechnology and
  • Environmental research
Our core research interest is to find new/novel bioactive constitutes from natural source (with reference to various biological activities such as skin whitening, anti?aging, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and wound?healing).

Vision & Mission

VISION

To emerge as a dynamic center of excellence in Biochemistry and to gain both national and international reputation.

MISSION

M1: To conduct high quality research in Biochemistry

M2: To effectively transform our theoretical knowledge and practical skill in Biochemistry to the industry and to the common public.

M3: To impart technical skills with integrity and ethical standards in students.

M4: To inculcate entrepreneurship qualities as well as promoting sustainable development of the society.

 

PROGRAMME EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES: (PEO’s)

The overall objectives of Bachelor’s degree programme in Biochemistry are to:

PEO1: Provide students with learning experiences that helps in deep interest in learning biochemistry

PEO2: Develop broad and balanced knowledge and understanding of biomolecules, key biochemical  concepts, principles and theories related to biochemistry

PEO3: Equip students with appropriate tools of analysis and with theoretical, technical and analytical skills to tackle issues and problems in the field of biochemistry

PEO4: Develop in students the ability to apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired to the solution of specific theoretical and applied problems in biochemistry

PEO5: Expose the students to a wide range of careers that combine biology, plants and medicine

PEO6: Provide students with the knowledge and skill base that would enable them to undertake further studies in biochemistry and related areas or in multidisciplinary areas that involve biochemistry and help develop a range of generic skills that are relevant to wage employment, self-employment and entrepreneurship.
