The Department of Biotechnology offers prestigious Life Science courses of two year PG and three year UG programmers. Biotechnology is the fastest growing applied science of this century. It can be simply defined as the fusion of Microbiology, Biochemistry and Engineering in an integrated fashion and is aimed at using micro-organisms and cells to manufacture useful products. The Biotechnology boom is due to Genetic Engineering, which gives the power of inserting foreign genes into an organism by the scientists. This insertion of foreign gene enables us to get desirable traits, without transferring other genes and their desirable traits. Genetic engineering can provide more effective innovations to the society ranging from pharmaceutical products, new approaches to energy generation, food production, pollution control, diagnosis, to therapy of genetic disorders. Genetic engineering can provide more effective innovations to the society ranging from pharmaceutical products, new approaches to energy generation, food production, pollution control, diagnosis, to therapy of genetic disorders. Biotechnology with a wide application and forceful advantages is now being adopted virtually by every industry including pharmaceutical industry, textile industry, environmental clean up, household products, food processing and forensic. Biotechnology also offers insights into new branches such as Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics, which will be a fusion of Information Technology and Life Sciences. back
