Diagnostic Specialities

The Department of Biochemistry is involved in the laboratory diagnostic services of the hospital. The laboratory has all the modern facilities like a fully automated Analyzer (for routine, special, and emergency tests), Chemiluminescence equipment (for assay of hormones, tumor markers, and several other special investigations), ABG analyzer, Electrolyte analyzer, Coagulomuter, semi-auto analyzer and all the other paraphernalia required in the laboratory. Hence the PG students get hands-on experience in operating all the modern equipment required in Clinical Biochemistry. The Department also caters to the teaching of MBBS, MD (Biochemistry), Physiotherapy, DMLT, and MSc (MLT) students. PG seminars, lectures, and journal club meetings are regular features of the PG training program of the Department which enable those passing out to pursue a career in lab services, research, teaching, and industry.
