List of Faculty

INTRODUCTION

After the start of college in 1991, In Jan. 1994, the department of Biochemistry started functioning independently for all activities including investigative services. Since then the department has progressed rapidly in terms of expansion in patient care services, recruitment of faculty members, paramedical and supportive staff and installation of sophisticated and modern equipment in the laboratories.

The department has paramedical and ministerial staff of about (fifty members i.e. SMLT, MLT Gr- I, Lab Attendant & ministerial staff clerk, Attendant & safaikaramchari) to provide routine as well as round the clock emergency services.

  • Post Graduate Teaching, Training & Thesis related research: PG Junior residents from the department of Pathology and Forensic Medicine are posted in Biochemistry for one month and trained for various biochemical tests procedures.
  • Thesis related research work support is being extended to various clinical and paraclinical  departments.
  • A well equipped students lab is available for MBBS & Paramedical courses

DIAGNOSTIC LABORATORY WORK

  • The Clinical Chemistry Laboratory was established in Feb.1994. and the Emergency services were started in May, 1997. The department from its inception aimed to improve the area of investigative medicine with advancement of technologies used and expansion of test profiles to meet the requirements for patient care.

    At present the department has recent updated facilities for investigative work, teaching-training and research in Clinical Biochemistry. In addition, the department is managing a centralized OPD blood collection centre.

     

  • The department is equipped with state of art equipment like:AU 5800 Random Access Chemistry Analyzer, RxImola Random Access Chemistry Analyzer, Advia Centaur XPT Chemiluminescence Analyzer, Bio Rad D10 HPLC, HbA1c Analyzer, Metabolite and Blood Gas Analyzer-ABL800, Tecan Freedom Evo fully automated Elisa reader and Washer, Double beam spectrophotometer, Fluorescence spectrophotometer, PCR, DNA Electrophoresis, Gel Documentation system, HPLC, Atomic absorption spectrophotometer.
  • The department caters to an average of 900-1000 samples per day from outpatient and inpatients along with providing 24 hrs diagnostic services to the patients admitted in critical care and emergency units.
  • In all approximately more than 80 parameters are done in the department which includes routine as well as specialized investigations.
  • 24 hr. Emergency services are provided for the patient care and about 40 investigations are done round the clock.
  • Starting with 20,000 tests per year in 1995, approximately 25,00,000 tests are being carried out per year presently in routine as well as emergency clinical biochemistry.
  • The reports of investigations done in the Department are available via HIMS.
