The Department of Biotechnology provide B.Tech in Biotechnology since 2023. Undergraduate students are taught both biosciences and bioengineering courses with practical components during their B. Tech. Program with six-month project duration towards the end. Students are encouraged to undergo internships and training from the 2nd year onwards, to acquire knowledge in theoretical concepts and practical skills.
Primarily, our undergraduate students are inspired to grasp fundamentals and applied understanding of biological and molecular systems, and technical and computational expertise, vital for advancing fields such as biomedicine, industrial processing, environmental conservation, and the food and agriculture sectors.
The department's primary research domains encompass various critical areas, such as personalized medicine, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, cancer biology, biosensors, nanobiotechnology, enzyme and microbial technology, plant biotechnology, bioremediation, sustainable food production, and computational biology. A significant additional focus lies in the exploration of new drugs/biomolecules, cellular and genetic therapies, diagnostic tools, proteins/enzymes, as well as biologics derived from microorganisms or microbiomes. Additionally, the establishment of bio-factories for sustainable bioplastic and biofuel production is a crucial pursuit. The department has initiated efforts to establish advanced research laboratories in all the thrust areas.
The infrastructure and atmosphere of the SRMIST campus are meticulously designed to inspire students and drive them toward their loftier aspirations. The interdisciplinary research approach is built upon teamwork, and collaboration with other departments at SRMIST, national and international institutions, and industries in the public and private sectors, thereby expanding opportunities and horizons for our students.
