Biotechnology
Biotechnology involves the application of biological processes and technologies such as genetic engineering --in order to produce novel or useful products like drugs, diagnostic tools, drought-resistant crops, or even a whole new class of super computers. Biotechnology is the industrial use of living organisms to manufacture food, drugs, and other products. The brewing and baking industries have long relied on the yeast micro-organism for fermentation purposes; dairy industry employs a range of bacteria and fungi to make milk products such as cheeses and yogurt. Enzymes, whether extracted from cells or produced artificially, are central to most biotechnological processes. Other advances include genetic engineering in which single-celled organisms with modified DNA, are used to produce insulin, and other drugs. Genomics which is large-scale DNA sequencing and bio-informatics that comprises blending of IT and biotechnology could revolutionise the drug-discovery process. |

Master's
in Science Biotechnology
It has been our constant endeavour to impart technical skill in latest biotechnological tools to students so they are placed competitively in the job market in India as well as abroad. The wide range of skills that they learn and acquire opens up a variety of career options. The courses curriculum is specially integrated with a novel industry-oriented training module in collaboration with industry and subject experts to impart special skills and provide hands on experience.
Many of our students have gone on to do further into study or research in diverse areas in reputed national and international institutes like IISc, Bangalore, CCMB, Hyderabad, NCL, Pune, Bangalore University, Delhi University, etc., while a third of our graduates use biotechnology postgraduate as a valuable stepping stone to launch their careers by joining reputed companies like Monsanto Research Centre, Ranbaxy, Cipla, Micro Labs, Omega Healthcare, Sami Labs, Natural Remedies to name but a few. While quite a few get into teaching career too. |
