Famous microbiologist and a great scientist Louis Pasteur quoted:
“Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world. Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence.”
The intense technological advances in the field of science have opened up growth opportunities in
newer dimensions. Biotechnology provides innovative solutions to medical, environmental, and
agricultural challenges. The department is involved in active research in the interdisciplinary areas of
biotechnology for providing critical solutions and development of products of commercial
significance. The main research fields include Applied Microbiology, Probiotics Technology,
Environmental Biotechnology, Molecular Microbiology, Genome Computational Biology, Plant
Molecular Virology, Bioinformatics, Medical Biotechnology, Aging & Neurobiology, Food Quality
& Safety, Biosensors and Nanobiotechnology which will provide extensive information to
postgraduate students about emerging research areas. We also groom, motivate and expose
postgraduate students for comprehensive and in-depth practical hands on training in various institutes
of international repute which enables them to march along with latest developments. It makes us feel
proud to share that the alumini of the department are well placed in various universities, research
institutes and industries in India and abroad in various sectors including Medical, Pharma, Health and
Food & Nutrition etc. Thus, we are confident that our students will emerge as assets not only to this
department and to the organization they belong, but also to the country at large.
