The department of Biochemistry is a comprehensive department involved in patient care, teaching and research. A wide spectrum of clinical chemistry investigations including tumor markers are being routinely carried out in the department for the out-patients and in-patients of our hospital and also patients referred from other centers. The department is well equipped with State of art analyzers (for routine work) and has a regular quality control program to ensure the accuracy of laboratory results reported.
Our laboratory does more than 7,00,000 tests annually. Turn around time for all the investigations is 3 hours. House keeping and waste management is done as per the Institute waste management policy.
The department is actively engaged in several teaching programs. The 3 years B.Sc. Medical Laboratory Technology course is being conducted under the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences. Undergraduate and postgraduate medical students and students enrolled in the super specialty Oncology courses of the Medical University and from neighboring institutes are regularly posted to the department for training.
In addition, the department extends facilities and guidance to postgraduate medical and dental students for their dissertation work. A number of undergraduate and post graduate non medical students from Bangalore University and other outside universities are regularly posted to the department for summer training programs.
Our laboratory is recognized by the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre for carrying out in vitro radioisotope work. The department is recognized by the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Karnataka State, to carry out research work for doctoral program. Our faculty members are recognized guides and have students registered for Ph.D. in Medical.
