Our department offers various academic programs and research-oriented courses that have evolved into a perfect blend of theory and practical training.
We are dedicated to making this department the best research and development facility in the country. Our students and research scholars are encouraged to not only do well in academics but also to find solutions to real-life problems. We provide our research scholars with avenues to develop interdisciplinary projects and acquire industry-oriented skills. Our department faculty members are well recognized in their respective fields and have received prestigious fellowships such as DBT-Ramalingaswami Re-Entry fellowship, DST-Ramanujan fellowship, and DBT-Wellcome trust fellowship to name a few. Our department is DST-FIST funded and has received highly coveted DST-PURSE and DBT-builder grants. Our faculties get funding from all the government funding agencies across India for performing research in different areas ranging from virology to plant biotechnology. The Biological Sciences department became operational in the year 2008 and offers Life Science education in all three tiers through the M.Sc.(Biological Sciences), M.E.(Biotechnology) and Doctor of Philosophy programmes. Coursework for these degrees spans the areas of modern biology such as cell biology, genetics, microbiology, biochemistry, environmental biology, plant and animal biology, molecular biology, structural biology etc. along with interdisciplinary areas such as bioinformatics, computational biology and biophysics.
The department comprises of 24 well qualified faculty members and state of art infrastructure to focus on the following major thrust areas of research, namely
• Molecular characterization of human diseases
• Structural/Computational biology/Bioinformatics
• Environmental, plant and microbial biotechnology
To emerge as a world-renowned hub for teaching and research in integrated biological science and technology.
Dynamically shape student-centric pedagogy, leveraging digital technological tools, to nurture bright, skilled, and responsible youth. Carry out interdisciplinary, cutting-edge research in modern biology and seek potential applications to improve the quality of life for everyone.
High quality research with numerous funded projects and a repertoire of highly talented and motivated research scholars (Ph.D students/project staff) provide the department with vibrant research environment. The faculty have high quality publications and patents to their credit. The department of Biological Sciences is a recipient of the FIST (Fund for Improvement of S&T Infrastructure) grant from the Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of India, for the development of research and teaching infrastructure.
