Faculty profile

Scope

Biotechnology is an interdisciplinary field which helps society to deal with challenges that come from global climate change, food crisis and food security, pests and diseases control, prevention and cure of diseases and much more. Graduate degree in Biotechnology is providing ample opportunities for those who want to explore the new and modern frontiers of science. The applications of Biotechnology are enormous as it caters to various industrial sectors like food, textiles, pharmaceutical, agriculture, animal husbandry and many more.

Having a strong foothold globally, biotechnology as a career option is immense as we live in exciting era where there are amazing discoveries, new applications and innovative products on the market every day. After completing their graduation, Biotechnology graduates can qualify various national level entrance examinations conducted by universities and institutes like JNU/NITs/IITs/TIFR etc. to pursue a postgraduate degree in Biotechnology from any institute of national and international repute in India as well as abroad.

Biotechnologists play a vital role in the continuous search to find new, sustainable solutions to the global challenges. They can work in various work environments like industrial sector, environmental sector, medical sector, food manufacturing, health-care and pharmaceuticals and academics. Professionals in this field can develop their expertise in one or more subfields like genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics.

Entry-level biotechnologist or candidates with a bachelor’s degree in biotechnology can work as Research/Lab technicians. They help out teachers and scientific professionals to conduct and monitor experiments and may also record data and prepare reports.

Postgraduates in Biotechnology can qualify the examinations like NET(National Eligibility Tests)/SET(State Eligibility Tests)/GATE(Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering)conducted by various agencies like CSIR, UGC, ICMR, ICAR, IITetc. to pursue a successful research and teaching career at any University, College, School or institute.

Research and Publication

The thrust areas include Molecular Markers, Bioprospecting of Natural Plant Extracts, Drug Discovery, Microbial Technology,Natural Product Research, Plant-Microbe Interactions, Extremozymes, Cancer Biology, Plant Tissue Culture, Nanotechnology, Marine Biotechnology, Cancer Biology, Animal Cell Culture, Bioremediation, Stress Biology and Bioprocess Engineering. The faculties are actively involved in the research projects funded by the state as well as national organizations.Besides research projects, the faculties and students of the department have published more than 100 research/review papers in various national and international scientific journals.
