Department of Biochemistry
Biochemistry teaching at UG level started in 1960 in the college of
Agriculture with the inception of University. Masters and PhD
program were started in college of Basic Sciences & Humanities in
1963 and 1967, respectively. A full fledged department came into
existence in 1972-73.
The department imparts training in modern biochemistry both at
Undergraduate and Postgraduate levels. It interacts with twenty
disciplines located in the University to do advanced research in
various facets of Biochemistry with emphasis to search for novel
biomolecules, novel genes from plants/micro-organism, production of
pharmaceutically important protein through plant, to improve
shelf-life of fruits, vegetables and gur under Post Harvest
Technology and quality improvement in rape seed mustard under AICRP.
It is also engaged in identifying metabolites, enzymes involved in
production of antifeedants and biochemistry of biotic and abiotic
stresses in plants.
Facilities includes high speed, refrigerated centrifuges, gel
electrophoresis system, Rion-water purification system, UV-visible
spectrophotometer, gradient PCR, Gel documentation system, Ice flake
machine. A separate tissue culture laboratory and transgenic glass
house facility are also available.
The
intake capacity of the department at M. Sc. and PhD level are 10 and
5, respectively.
