Department of Biosciences

Introduction

The Department of Biosciences, under Faculty of Medicine, has a strong commitment to translational research, impact and industrial application with substantial portfolio of enterprise, activity and expertise was established with an objective to deliver high quality education and training in advanced areas of Life Sciences. The department is a Center of Excellence which delivers high quality teaching-learning experience in frontier areas of Biosciences. It helps to develop a holistic view for the generation of quality human resources. The students imbibe creative ability, technical skills & skillful research acumen which stimulates their minds to become independent learners and carry out high quality research in the area of interdisciplinary sciences. With adoption of multi-disciplinary approach, the department is endowed with basic and applied teaching & research facilities as per the existing and future requirement of the Global market.

The department has a wide range of progressive & professionally recognized academic activities including lectures, inter-disciplinary programs, projects, group activities, guest speakers, and one-on-one discussion, with use of multimedia. External exposure include conferences, seminars, special workshops, research based projects, assignments/ field projects, and practical work.

We have a highly competent team of faculty with a combination of both industry and academia, all having doctoral degrees. Cutting edge technology, including sophisticated computer labs with relevant software keeps the students abreast of the latest developments in the field. The students passing out of Bio Sciences programs can find jobs in the areas of research or industry viz. pharmaceutical, biochemical, food, dairy, agriculture, etc.
