About
The department of Biotechnology draws its strength from its faculty, well equipped with doctoral and post-doctoral qualities and exposed to academic and industry-oriented experience and expertise. The emphasis is on research and innovation in the department, as we could grab Rs.3 Crore (30million) worth of research grants from DBT, DST, UGC and ICMR. The department also has women scientists working under DST on biofuels, biomedical research, genomics and proteomics, bioinformatics, and food biotechnology.
With seven well-furnished and fully equipped state-of-the-art laboratories, four research centres, and own computer centre with the latest molecular modelling and drug design software, the department takes pride in filing patents and IP in collaboration with the industry.
Consultancy is one of the critical fortes of the department where we have signed MoUs with Sneha Biotech, Vijayawada and NRI Academy of Medical Sciences, Guntur for faculty and student training and collaborative research. We are proud to announce our academic collaboration with the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru and the University of Oxford, UK, to initiate collaborative research in biomedical sciences.
