Department of Biotechnology And BioInformatics

"Biotechnology means the application of science and technology to living organisms as well as parts, products to alter living or nonliving materials for the production of knowledge, goods and services."

Biotechnology, one of the leading technologies, has made significant advances in recent years and emerged as a frontline area of research and development with an overwhelming impact on society. The developments are very fast and new dimensions are being added every day.

Biotechnology can help students find entry-level employment in biotech companies, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture-based industries, food, and beverages industries, and environment and energy sectors. Additional jobs are in research and development, production, quality control, management, marketing, contract research, academics, and entrepreneurship.

Biotechnology has become the hottest global career opportunity today and attracting students all over the world. In India, more than 1000 government and private research institutes and industries are seeking trained professionals in the dynamic world of biotechnology.

Bioinformatics is the science concerned with the development and application of computer hardware and software to the acquisition, storage, analysis, visualization, and application of biological information. Bioinformatics is the future of technology; it is the merger of Biotechnology and Information technology, the two leading technologies of the century. Genomics, Proteomics, Molecular Modeling, Structure Prediction, Structure Drug Designing, and Data mining are some of the core areas of Bioinformatics.

Bioinformatics can help students find entry-level employment in biotech companies, clinical trials, chemical industries, novel drug discovery, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, and software development for biological information systems. Additional jobs are in research and development, contract research, academics, and entrepreneurship.
