The Department of Biochemistry is actively engaged in diverse research areas that contribute to scientific innovation, healthcare advancement, and educational development. Current research focuses on the identification of local medicinal plants with antibacterial and anti-diabetic properties, green synthesis of nanoparticles using plant extracts, and investigations into the interactions of peptide-based drugs and conventional antibiotics with bacterial ribosomes. The department also explores the functional organization of bacterial RNA degradosomes in membraneless organelles, diabetes mellitus and pancreatic β-cell dysfunction, antioxidant therapeutics, redox regulation in metabolic diseases, and enzyme inhibition studies related to diabetes management. Additional research areas include food biochemistry, nutraceutical and antioxidant properties of coconut oil, nutritional awareness, community health, non-communicable disease awareness, genomic medicine, pharmacogenomics education, and career development through experiential learning and research engagement. Alongside scientific research, the department is committed to promoting career development and experiential learning in higher education by creating opportunities for practical training, research engagement, and professional skill enhancement among students.
