The main objective of the Department is to provide academic training and conduct research in the interdisciplinary areas of biotechnology with a particular emphasis on extending the knowledge generated from these studies towards the development of technologies of commercial significance.
The main objective of the Department is to provide academic training and conduct research in the interdisciplinary areas of biotechnology with a particular emphasis on extending the knowledge generated from these studies towards the development of technologies of commercial significance. The department has ever since demonstrated an unfailing commitment towards research and man-power development in frontier areas of integrative biology.
Under Graduate B.Tech. Biotechnology is exclusively focused in bridging bio-sciences and engineering. Multiple paths have been embedded in the design of the curriculum and created a flexible educational experience comprising biosciences credentials like microbiology and immunology, biochemistry, molecular biology & genetic engineering, plant and animal cell & tissue culture, genomics and proteomics, IPR and bioethics and bioengineering like bioprocess technology, downstream processing, unit operations along with chemical engineering, mathematics and basic engineering subjects.
Post Graduate The main thrust of the programme was on research support on short-term basis leading towards development and scientific excellence of new products or processes, large-scale demonstrations, validation of R&D leads. This advanced course covers agriculture and related sciences and is designed to suit both manufacturing, and R&D programs. Students are given strong insights into both theoretical and practical aspects of individual courses/subjects. The department offers several postgraduate degrees in the latest advanced technology.
Research Focus The Department has been actively doing research in the thrust areas like Biodiesel production, Biofertilizers, waste management, Cancer Biology, medicinal plants, algal Biotechnology and enzyme Biotechnology.
The department is equipped with state–of-the-art equipments in independent laboratories for Bio-Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Microbiology, Bioprocess Technology,immunology, plant cell and tissue culture, animal cell culture and Chemical Engineering
The department library has a total of 224 Text books and Reference books.
