University of Kashmir

The University of Kashmir, located at Hazratbal, Srinagar is flanked by the world-famous Dal Lake on the east and Nigeen Lake on the west, under the foothills of Zabarwan Mountains and alongside the holy Hazratbal Shrine. The University’s main Campus, which covers 247 acres, is separated into three parts: Hazratbal Campus, Naseem bagh campus, and Mirza Bagh Cmapus (the later serving for residential purpose), besides having three satellite campuses (North campus, south campus and Kupwara campus). The tranquil ambience of the campus makes it ideal for serious intellectual discourse and research studies. Over the years, the university has strived for excellence in its curriculum and activities. The National Assessment & Accreditation Council (NAAC) of India has re-accredited it as Grade-A++ University and it figures in top 50 universities of the country currently at rank 34 under National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF)-2025.

Department of Biochemistry

The Department of Biochemistry is one of the oldest departments of the University and was established in 1983. It is supported by the DST-FIST grant that enabled us to procure several high quality equipments and upgrade our instrumentation facility. In addition, the faculty members have also obtained several generous extramural grants from various funding agencies like DBT, DST, ICMR etc., which has contributed towards building a decent research infrastructure. The major areas of research in the department are Biochemistry, Cancer Biology, Signal transduction, Medicinal plants, Epigenetics etc. The department has a rich history of producing high quality scientists, academicians, administrators (Vice Chancellors, Directors of institutes, Deans etc.). Our students and faculty members have gone for advanced studies and trainings (Ph.D, Post-doctorate) to internationally reputed institutes both at the national and international levels.
