Thrust Areas of the Department of Biotechnology

The departmental research is broadly segregated into three Centres as below:

Center of Excellence in Emerging Diseases
Center of Excellence in Plant & Microbial Biotechnology
Centre for Technology Solutions for Soil & Water Remediation

Center of Excellence in Emerging Diseases

Centre of Excellence in Emerging Diseases” addresses the questions of molecular mechanism/pathogenesis/host pathogen interactions of emerging and re-emerging viral and bacterial pathogens (Mycobacterium and others) and life style diseases such as obesity & diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular and CNS disorders using both wet laboratory and tools of computational biology/bioinformatics (genomics, proteomics and evolutionary approaches). Research emphasis is also on peptide-based therapeutics, regulatory peptides, biosensor and ELISA based diagnostics, and drug encapsulated nanoparticles and nanoemulsions.

Thrust areas include:
