The department of Biotechnology draws its strength from its faculty that is 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 research grants from DBT, DST, UGC and ICMR. The department also has women scientists working under DST to work on biofuels, biomedical research, genomics and proteomics, bioinformatics and food biotechnology.

With 7 well-furnished and fully equipped state-of-the-art laboratories, 4 research centers along with own computer center with latest molecular modeling and drug design software, the department takes pride in filing patents and IPO in collaboration with industry.

Consultancy is one of the key 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 University of Oxford, UK for initiating collaborative research in biomedical sciences.
