Dr GR Damodaran college of Science, Coimbatore is offering Master of Science (MSc Bio Chemistry). In this section, learn about the Master of Science (MSc Bio Chemistry) course at Dr GR Damodaran college of Science, Coimbatore
M.Sc. (Biochemistry) Programme :
The M.Sc. Biochemistry programme was started on 2002. The programme follows the scheme of subjects – theory and practical framed by the College under autonomous status to offer the students a sound application-oriented ground in Biochemistry. Specialized areas like Bioinformatics, Plant and Animal Tissue Culture and Bio Process Engineering are introduced so as to equip students for advanced levels of innovative work. Stress is placed on the development of advanced practical knowledge and skills through extensive laboratory work. Nano Bio Technology and Clinical database management are offered as electives. The course spans four semesters and comprises 13 theory subjects, 3 practical and a project in the final semester.
Under the Department of Biochemistry, instituted in 1995-96, the 3 year B Sc and 2 year M Sc programmes are offered. The research programmes M.Phil and Ph.D commenced from 2006 with the approval of Bharathiar University. The Department endeavors' to give an orientation towards molecular biology and related interfaces of Biochemistry with modern Biotechnology and Genetics.
