New ideas as antigens in human biology
Mission
1. To expand education that facilitates learning within and across disciplines through integrative approaches, emphasizes experiential and service learning, graduates students with multi cultural and international perspectives. 2. To focus on research for the benefit of humankind, develop effective interactions with industries involved in applied biotechnology and to be a focal point for information and education concerning biotechnology issues for students, industry staff, and the community at large. Department of Biotechnology, established in the year 2004, is presently imparting education for bachelor of engineering degree in Biotechnology. Biotechnology is a multidisciplinary science, which includes life sciences, chemical sciences, engineering sciences, bio informatics, computer sciences, business and management and ethical issues. It is the study of life, its origins, diversity and intricacies. It emphasizes the relationship between structure and function in living systems and the processes, by which organisms grow, reproduce and interact with each other and their environment. The discipline is dynamic and rapidly advancing. Biotechnology is also a multi-billion enterprise that focuses on the manipulation of organisms, in some cases created by recombinant DNA technology, to perform necessary services for the production of marketable products. It is an exciting, fast-paced and growth-oriented industry with applications that affect virtually every aspect of daily life. For industries to capitalize on the biotechnology boom and to remain competitive in this rapidly evolving market 1 there must be a technically competent workforce available to support the research, development and manufacturing of commercial products. The human resources must be updated routinely on advances in technology and regulatory issues that pertain to the biotechnology workplace.
