Overview
The Department of Biochemistry was established in the year 1993 with the objective of providing high quality teaching and research in Biochemistry and to effectively transmit our knowledge in Biochemistry to the upcoming generations. The department was initiated by offering BSc degree course in Biochemistry and upgraded to Post Graduate department in the year 1996. The Department has completed its journey of 25 years and committed to educate the next generation students through best curricula, intense training and State-of-the-art research practices. The department has achieved the milestone of offering research leading to M.Phil degree and PhD degree in Biochemistry recognised by University of Madras from the year 2010 and 2015 respectively. The department takes pride in producing many University rank holders.
The Department of Biochemistry has highly qualified faculty members, fully equipped laboratories and a well stocked library. Eminent speakers from various parts of the world are invited regularly to interact with students through webinars and seminars. Since its inception, the department has always strived to be on par with the recent trends in this rapidly evolving field by offering enriched learning experience. Since its inception, the department has trained around 1000 Biochemists - many of whom are occupying prestigious positions all over the world.
The students are periodically exposed to clinical laboratories and through internship so s to enable them to cope-up with the latest techniques and instrumentation. The faculty members are actively engaged in research in the field of phytochemistry, Cancer, Cardio vascular disease, inflammatory and diabetic disorders with the thirst of discovering novel natural prpducts towards drug discovery. The research is made evident through research paper publication in various reputed high quality national and international journals.

Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs)
| PEO1. | The students of Biochemistry will learn the biological phenomena at cellular and molecular level to understand the principles governing the function of biological system |
| PEO2. | The molecular architecture of cell, genome organization, chemical nature of biological macromolecules, their dietary requirement, metabolism & energy generation and clinical significance of biochemical parameters in all living organisms. |
| PEO3. | The students of Biochemistry will acquire effective and safe biochemistry lab skills using latest methods and instrumentation applicable to clinical diagnosis and Pharma industry. |
| PEO4. | The students develop skills to integrate critical thinking and raw data in analyzing experimental design and data interpretation. |
| PEO5. | The students develop communication skills, Analytical, technical and Problem solving skills that will help them for employability in clinical and allied health care industries. |
Program Specific Outcomes (PSOs)
| PSO1. | Understand the principles and methods of various techniques in Biochemistry, Immunology, Microbiology, Enzyme kinetics and Molecular Cell Biology. Based on their understanding, the students may would be able to design and execute experiments during their final semester project, and further research programs. |
| PSO2. | Insight on the structure-function relationship of biomolecules, their synthesis and breakdown, the regulation of these pathways, and their importance in terms of clinical correlation. Students will also acquire knowledge of the principles of nutritional biochemistry and also understand diseases and their prevention. |
| PSO3. | To understand the concepts of cellular signal transduction pathways and the association of aberrant signal processes with various diseases. Acquire insight into the immune system and its responses, and use this knowledge in the processes of immunization, vaccine development, transplantation and organ rejection. |
| PSO4. | To visualize and appreciate the central dogma of molecular biology, regulation of gene expression, molecular techniques used in rDNA technology, gene knock-out and knock-in techniques. |
| PSO5. | To create awareness in students about the importance of good laboratory practices and the importance of ethical and social responsibilities of a researcher. Teach them how to review literature and the art of designing and executing experiments independently and also work as a part of a team. |
Programme Outcomes (PO)
| PO1. | To make students understand the importance of biochemistry as a subject that deals with life processes, as well as the concepts, theories and experimental approaches followed in biochemistry, in order to pursue a research career, either in an industry or academic setting. |
| PO2. | To develop analytical and problem-solving skills. |
| PO3. | To create an awareness among the students on the interconnection between the interdisciplinary areas of biochemistry. |
| PO4. | To give the necessary practical skills required for biochemical techniques and analysis. |
| PO5. | To develop a communication and writing skills in students. |
| PO6. | To develop leadership and teamwork skills |
| PO7. | To emphasize the importance of good academic and work ethics and their social implications |
| PO8. | To emphasize the importance of continuous learning and to promote lifelong learning and career development. |
| PO9. | To teach students how to retrieve information from a variety of sources, including libraries, databases and the internet |
| PO10. | To teach students to identify, design and execute a research problem, analyze and interpret data and learn time and resource management. |
