II. INTRODUCTION
A brief introduction about the Department which should include
Department of Biochemistry was established in the year 1986 as an undergraduate department with an intake of
150 admissions per Academic year. The department was upgraded to Post Graduate department in the year 2005
with an intake of one PG per year. Later in the year 2009 it was upgraded with an additional PG M.D seat. In the
same year department has been approved for Ph.D admission. Till date, nine PG M.D candidates have successfully
completed their course and we are proud to say that for the past three years (2013, 2014 & 2015) candidates of this
department have secured highest marks among pre-clinical subjects and were awarded Gold Medal.

The department is also involved in teaching Allied health science courses like B.Sc MLT, B.Sc ophthalmic
Technology, Post Graduate Diploma in Genome Technology, M.Phil., MSc MLT, MSc Molecular Biology &
Human Genetics, B.Sc Nursing and other department Post graduate students when they are posted for external
postings in our department.

The department has well trained faculty with Research experience in their respective field. Each faculty is
actively involved in Research projects and completed projects are published in reputed indexed, peer reviewed
Journals.

Department of Biochemistry also encourages Undergraduate students who are interested in Research activities to
undertake STS ICMR projects. In the year 2012 one and in the year 2013 two STS ICMR project were completed
and were published in Indexed Journals.

The department has well established Under Graduate and Post graduate Research lab. Post graduate research lab
is well equipped with modern instruments and can accommodate 16 Researchers to carry out their work
simulateneously.The department has 24x7 Central Clinical Biochemistry laboratory to provide Quality services to
the Clinicians of the hospital and for the benefit of the patients. The clinical biochemistry lab is well equipped with
instruments such as Dry Chemistry Analyzer (VITROS 250, J& J) for Chemistry parameters, BIO RAD D10 for
HbA1C and Chemiluminescence for Hormone Assays, by which the accuracy, precision and reporting time has
improved Routine Internal Quality Assessment Scheme (IQAS) is done twice daily to assess the quality of the
reporting. External Quality Assessment Scheme (EQAS) is done once a month and report is sent to Bio Rad, USA
and our results are on par with the International (Standard) result. Recently 5.1 FS instrument has been installed in
the clinical Biochemistry Lab.
