Department of Life Science

Department of Life Science Courses are designed to help, analyze and represent biological information to understand life processes intercourse merge molecular biology and genetics with advance computer science technology. 

Courses help us to understand the complex web of interactions linking the individual components of a living cell to the integrated behaviour of the entire organization.

UG Courses

The fusion of technology with knowledge creates what the world once assumed as miracles and biotechnology can be considered as a perfect example where the knowledge of biology when blended with technology is making the world a better place by enhancing the quality of life and alleviating the human sufferings.

Biotechnology has touched almost every aspect of human life and has carved its niche too. Biotechnology dealing with medical and health care is termed as Red biotechnology. It is Green biotechnology when it concerns about agricultural processes and White biotechnology when comes to industrial processes.

Biotechnology has application in four major industrial areas, including health care (medical), crop production and agriculture, non-food (industrial) uses of crops and other products (e.g. biodegradable plastics, vegetable oil, biofuels), and environmental uses.

Microbiology is the study of all living organisms that are too small to be visible with the naked eye. This includes bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi, prions, protozoa and algae, collectively known as ‘microbes’. These microbes play key roles in nutrient cycling, biodegradation/biodeterioration, climate change, food spoilage, the cause and control of disease, and biotechnology. Thanks to their versatility, microbes can be put to work in many ways: making life-saving drugs, the manufacture of biofuels, cleaning up pollution, and producing/processing food and drink.

Microbiology research has been and continues to be, central to meeting many of the current global aspirations and challenges, such as maintaining food, water and energy security for a healthy population on a habitable earth.

Biology, defined as the scientific study of life, is an incredibly broad and diverse field. In many ways, it’s as kaleidoscopic and rich as living organisms themselves. The biological sciences aspect deals with research and development in areas such as Microbiology, Cell biology, Genetics, Molecular Biology etc. for understanding the occurrence and treatment of diseases, development of agriculture, food production, protection of the environment, production of drugs, vaccines, biofuels and pharmaceuticals and many more.

Botany as a subject is related to the study of plants and a career in it would mean studying in-depth about fungi, algae, plants, diseases, growth, metabolism and structure between different groups.

This degree develops your analytical, communication and problem-solving skills, providing you with a global perspective on business and preparing you to pursue a career within the research, government or not-for-profit sectors.
