DEPARTMENT OF
BIOTECHNOLOGY
B iotechnology
harnesses cellular and
biomolecular processes to develop technologies
and products that help improve our lives. It
provides technologies to combat debilitating and
rare diseases, feed the hungry with nutritious
food and have safer and more efficient industrial
manufacturing processes. Established in the year
2003, the Department offers:
BTech Biotechnology
MTech Biotechnology
PhD
In addition to the curriculum, the department also offers
value-added certificate and one-credit courses to impart
additional knowledge to the students. With the intellectual
acumen of the members of faculty, the department has well
equipped laboratory facilities to carry out academics and
research like Biochemistry and Bioorganic Chemistry
Laboratory, Chemical Engineering Laboratory. Bioprocess
Engineering Laboratory etc. The laboratories are equipped
with major equipment in addition to basic instruments such as
Continuous and Batch Fermenter, UV- Visible
Spectrophotometers, UV-Transilluminator, HPLC, PCR, Thermal
Cycler, Genepulsar and Lyophilizer, etc. It has also established
Molecular Diagnostic and Clinical Bacteriology Lab, Bio-
energy and Environmental Biotechnology, Venom
Peptidomics, and Molecular Simulation Lab
