Career prospects seem bright for someone trained in the life sciences. Projections for the next 20 years indicate that there will be thousands of unfulfilled science and engineering jobs. The demand for highly trained workers and scholars will be great. Scientists are rushing to use their new techniques to unravel the secrets of life, to tap that knowledge to create valuable products, and to develop a new generation of sophisticated techniques that will unlock new knowledge. Biotechnology is one of the most revolutionary and beneficial scientific advances of the last quarter century. It is an interdisciplinary science including not only biology but also subjects like mathematics, physics, chemistry and many more. It is also a conglomeration of various combined technologies applied to living cells for production of a particular product or enhancing its quality according to our preferences. Biotech is undoubtedly the future. Genetic engineering, genomics, bio-computing, biomedical engineering, biosensors, bio-informatics, etc. will be the hot topics for the next decade or so. Small wonder, its application varies from agriculture to industry -- food, pharmaceutical, chemical, bio-products, textiles, medicine, nutrition, environmental conservation, animal sciences etc., arguably making it one of the fastest growing fields. The courses are affiliated to Bangalore University.
The program has been designed to bridge the gap between industry requirements and the growing demand for skilled manpower in life science sector. Hands on training in practical techniques, which are being, used commonly like culture methods, biochemical techniques etc. will be provided. Students will examine a range of practical applications and at the end of the course they should carry out a project work in a selected sector of industry.
The selection of project work will reflect the areas of interest to the student and will provide an excellent opportunity for employment in that sector.
