- Name of the Department : 6.2 - Department of Biotechnology
Year of Establishment : 2002
- Brief Introduction of the Department :
The Department of Biotechnology was established in 2001-02 with the visionary leadership of Prof. S. K. Jain, Founder Co-ordinator and was initially an off-shoot from Department of Zoology. The Department acquired an independent status in 2009 and is now a full-fledged independent unit under the School of Biological Sciences. Currently, the department has three faculty members specialized in cell and molecular biology, cancer biology, viral-oncology, nano-biotechnology, genetic engineering and plant biotechnology. The department has published significant number of publications in the leading national and international peer reviewed scientific journals. In the past, the department has also organized several hands-on workshops, national and international conferences. At the department of Biotechnology research is being pursued in both basic and applied areas of biotechnology. With an inclination towards inter disciplinary research; faculty members in the department have forged active national & international collaborations. The department’s current research areas include plant biotechnology with focus on development of transgenic plants, cancer biology with emphasis oncogenic viruses.
Department facilities include Refrigerated centrifuge, Thermocycler, UV visible digital spectrophotometer, 5 lit. laboratory fermeter, Laminar air flow benches, Deep freezer, Binocular microscope with photographic attachment, Cooling incubator, Water purifier, Ice maker, Gel doc systems, Ovens and autoclaves.
The Department houses DNA sequencer and Flow cytometer & cell sorter which are part of University’s sophisticated instrumentation facility.
