Department of Bio-Chemistry/Bio-technology/Bio-informatics

Biochemistry is a branch of biological sciences, which has played a very important role in unraveling many a mysteries of life processes. Biotechnology has put this understanding into technological use, thus giving an altogether new dimension to the subject of Biochemistry. Bioinformatics helps further understanding of biological process by applying computationally intensive techniques. So that data generated by high-throughput techniques can be transformed into information, knowledge and understanding of system.
