The Department of Biochemistry, the first independent Department in Government College in our State, was established in 1980 with UG course. The Department now imparts teaching to leading B.Sc., shift-II from 2007, M.Sc., from 1988-1989 and Research, M.Phil.,from1997-1998 and Ph.D from 2006-2007.Biochemistry Department has well qualified faculty, most of whom are actively engaged in teaching and research in goal oriented fields of Biochemistry e.g. Biochemical Toxicology,Biotechnology, Clinical Biochemistry, Environmental Biochemistry, Enzymology, Hematology, Immunochemistry, Marine Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Nutrition, etc. The Department has historically done some well cited work in Heat Shock Proteins, Autism and Oral Cancer Biology.
Publications in peer reviewed journals by the faculty are more than 250. The secret of success of this Department lies in the academic environment and close ties between teachers and nearly 260 students. While one enjoys such flexibility, a rigid discipline is maintained as far as the classes and projects are undertaken. This makes the Department efficient as a research institute minus the official rigidity there in. Following its tradition, the present students in this Department are exposed to most of the emerging areas in Biochemistry.
The Department library is the one our students visit every day because it is always accessible, and has what they need stacked with over 1500 books and 20 journals.Presently a number of Research Projects are carried out by Dr.A.Geetha (UGC Award) and Dr.E.Padmini (Best Teacher and Best Scientist Awards by the State) faculty members of this Department. There has been some important work in the fields of Stress induced gene expression and the role of reactive oxygen species with more than one crore funds from UGC, ICMR, DST and NTRF. Diverse it may sound, but there is ample scope for integration of the different projects. A correlation between oxidative and Nitrosative stress can lead to better understanding of the molecular pathology of stress and disease. The funds sought for in the project are primarily to cater the students to some emerging areas in Biochemistry and to integrate the current research projects in the manner referred above.

The department has separate laboratories for B.Sc., M.Sc., M.Phil, and Ph. D students. The laboratories have basic amenities with a separate cold room to maintain the equipments. The laboratories are well equipped with gas, water and electricity connections. The newly built M.Phil. and Ph.D. laboratory is equipped with basic aminites to fulfil the the needs of research scholars to carry out their research projects. A new animal house is getting ready and the process is likely to be completed.
