Welcome to Department of Bioanalytical Sciences
ABOUT DEPARTMENT
Department of Bioanalytical Sciences was established in the year 2004. Ramnarain Ruia College was the first college in the country to establish the highly pragmatic M.Sc. Bioanalytical Sciences under the Innovative Courses of University Grants Commission. Department is actively involved in interdisciplinary research which involves collaborative research with other departments of College. This includes Research at Undergraduate level under the auspices of star college Scheme by DBT, Govt of India.
Mission of the Department
- To cultivate scientific temper in Students by:
- Embracing the interdisciplinary nature of Biosciences
- Conducting basic research emphasizing on experiential learning
- Exhibiting the highest standards of moral and civic responsibilities of the profession
The core objective of the Department is to develop trained manpower in the field of Bioanalysis. Bioanalysis is an interdisciplinary science that deals with the quantitative measurement of xenobiotics (drugs and their metabolites, and biological molecules in unnatural locations or concentrations) and biotics (macromolecules, proteins, DNA, large molecule drugs, metabolites) in biological systems. Department has several industry linkages which contribute towards the holistic progress of the students.
COURSE INTRODUCTION
M.Sc. In Bioanalytical Sciences
- Pragmatic Course established by Ruia College, under Innovative programmes funded by UGC in the year 2004
- Amalgamation of different systems of medicine, sophisticated instrumentation and modern fields like Proteomics, Genomics and Bioinformatics
