Faculty of Life Sciences & Biotechnology (FLSB)
The current millennium is the age of biological sciences. Today, we have the conceptual, experimental and mathematical tools to understand the complexity of inputs that go into the integrated study of the Science of Life. Also, with changing modes of production and climate change, the role of Life Sciences is increasing rapidly to the extent that our long-term wellbeing would be highly dependent on our understanding of the biological processes. The distinction between basic knowledge and its application towards the betterment of human existence has mostly ceased to exist.
The Faculty trains postgraduate students in a wide spectrum of Life Sciences. The endeavor of the Faculty is to teach the latest concepts and research technologies and prepare the students for careers in research and teaching in modern biology and biotechnology. The areas covered includes Molecular and Cellular Biology; Biochemistry; Biostatistics, Microbiology and Immunology; Molecular Medicine; Genetic Engineering Biotechnology in plants; Neurosciences; Cancer Biology; Environmental Biotechnology; Stem cell Biology; Fermentation and Biochemical Engineering; Chemical Biology, Virology, Structural Biology and Synthetic Biology. In addition to the theory courses, a major component of our curriculum is Laboratory Techniques. Students are also offered research training in the form of two semesters M.Sc. project work so that they may explore their career in the eld of research and starting their own enterprises as creative entrepreneurs.
