OVERVIEW

         The department was established in 2005. Biomedical Engineering is the application of Engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology. This field seeks to bridge the gap between Engineering and Medicine. It combines the design and problem solving skills of engineering with medical and biological sciences to improve healthcare diagnosis, monitoring and therapy. The Biomedical area represents at most dynamic and leading research field and areas of innovation. It has a huge existing and emerging industrial base.

Vision

A.BIOSCIENCE LABORATORY

        Biochemistry is the branch of science that explores the chemical processes within and related to living organisms. It is a laboratory based science that brings together biology and chemistry. By using chemical knowledge and techniques, biochemists can understand and solve biological problems. Biochemistry focuses on processes happening at a molecular level. It focuses on what’s happening inside our cells, studying components like proteins, lipids and organelles. It also looks at how cells communicate with each other, for example during growth or fighting illness. Biochemists need to understand how the structure of a molecule relates to its function, allowing them to predict how molecules will interact. It’s a very exciting time to be part of this fascinating area of study.

LIST OF EQUIPMENTS

• Erlenmeyer flasks, AKA conical flasks.

• Florence flasks, AKA boiling flasks.

• Test tubes, tongs, and racks.

B.PATHOLOGY AND MICROBIOLOGY LABORATORY

         Pathology is a medical specialty that determines the cause and nature of diseases by examining and testing body tissues (from biopsies and pap smears, for example) and bodily fluids (from samples including blood and urine). The results from these pathology tests help doctors diagnose and treat patients correctly. Microbiology includes culturing of clinical specimens, including feces, urine, blood, sputum, cerebrospinal fluid, and synovial fluid, as well as possible infected tissue. The work here is mainly concerned with cultures, to look for suspected pathogens which, if found, are further identified based on biochemical tests.

LIST OF EQUIPMENTS

• Hot Air Oven for Sterilization: It is used for sterilization of glassware’s, such as test tubes, pipettes and Petri dishes.

• Drying Oven

• Autoclave

• Microbiological Incubator

• BOD Incubator (Low Temperature Incubator)

• Fridge (Refrigerator)

C.HOSPITAL TRAINING LABORATORY

        Training programs for hospital work, such as surgical or medical technology or phlebotomy, are offered through hospitals and colleges. Some schools offer the classroom portion of these programs online, and work with cooperating hospitals or healthcare facilities to provide the clinical or practicum coursework.

LIST OF EQUIPMENTS

• Ultra Plasma Freezers

• Defibrillator

• Syringe Pump

• Ventilator

• Nebulizer

D.DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC EQUIPMENTS LABORATORY

          Medical diagnosis is the process of determining which disease or condition explains a person’s symptoms and signs. It is most often referred to as diagnosis with the medical context being implicit. The information required for diagnosis is typically collected from a history and physical examination of the person seeking medical care. Often, one or more diagnostic procedures, such as diagnostic tests, are also done during the process. Sometimes posthumous diagnosis is considered a kind of medical diagnosis. Diagnosis is often challenging, because many signs and symptoms are nonspecific. For example, redness of the skin (erythematic), by itself, is a sign of many disorders and thus does not tell the healthcare professional what is wrong. Thus differential diagnosis, in which several possible explanations are compared and contrasted, must be performed.
