M.Sc Bio Chemistry

Two years M. Sc. program is formulated for developing competent
biochemists/biotechnologist/microbiologist for which significant job opportunities exist in this country. The course is based on interdisciplinary nature of Biochemistry,Chemistry, Quantitative Biology, Genetics, Microbiology and Biophysics. The program obliges students to read original publications and envisages significant inputs in
laboratory work, communication skill, creativity, planning, execution and critical evaluation of the studies undertaken. This program gives common basic knowledge(Biochemistry, Enzymology, Molecular Biology, Research Methodology, Biostatistics,Computer science and Bioinformatics) at first year level to become goodbiochemists/biotechnologist/microbiologist. The specializations introduced in the course at second year level are in the disciplines of Immunochemistry, Neurochemistry, Clinical
Biochemistry, Environmental Biochemistry and Toxicology, General Biotechnology, Plant Biotechnology, Microbiology and Microbial Technology.
