Preface
The Department of Biochemistry was established in the year 2005. Department offers a two-year
M.Sc Progarm in Biochemsitry, one-year M.Phil Program and Ph.D program in various
specializations. We also actively involved in teaching M.Sc Life Science Students and handle
courses related to Biochemistry. Biochemistry is an integrated subject fulfilling the need for basic as
well as applied aspects of biology and prepares the students to become entrepreneur, teacher,
researcher, or to fit into equipping themselves to the future needs along with the basic and applied
knowledge of modern biology. Keeping in view the updates and trends among International Institutes
around the world, we frequently update the syllabus inculcating international standards and
modernize the curriculum that will benefit our younger generation and qualify them to contribute to
the welfare of the society.
All the faculty members of Deparment of Biochemistry have got their research specialization from
various leading laboratories around the world and got intense training during their post doctoral
experience. The main areas of research includes, Membrane Biochemistry, Cancer Biology,
Neurogerontology, Reproductive Biology etc., We have produced more than 20 PhD‟s who have got
placed as scientist, post doctoral fellows in various leading International Institutes like in USA,
Korea, Sweden. Within the short span time, the Department has grown into a vibrant academic
department and research centre in Biochemistry, where we have made great stride in higher
education, research and extension activities in the area of specialization. The Department was
recognized for DST-FIST Program in the year 2012. The department has generated funds worth five
plus crores for Research and Infrastructure from various funding agencies like CSIR, NFMP, DST,
DBT, ICMR, UGC etc., To add on to the credentials, more high impact factor publications has been
made in well reputed Journals and published many book chapters in the core area of research. The
department has hosted many national level conferences and workshops benefiting students.

Faculty I
Area of Research/Specialization:
Our lab focuses on the role of transcription factors and their involvement in lipids during adverse conditions. Environmental pollutants and heavy metals have an impact on yeast phospholipids. Understanding the lipid related metabolic pathways during such adverse conditions may provide knowledge for developing novel therapeutics for these toxicity related disorders. We use combination of genetics and molecular approaches to implicate the role of genes and proteins that regulate lipid metabolism under pathological conditions using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and human cell line as model system.
