ABOUT BIOTECHNOLOGY @ SRM UNIVERSITY,CHENNAI
The Department of Biotechnology is a center for excellence in biotechnology research. Projects here span the gamut of the stream, right from computational biology at the molecular level to modeling the effects of technology and regulatory change on marketing of bio products. The school deals with the latest developments in the fields of pharmaceutical, bio-pharmaceutical, and drug discovery sectors, healthcare, diagnostic and therapeutics, plant and animal sciences, and environmental sectors.
Academics
Undergraduate
The major focus of the B. Tech. degree program is in bridging bio-sciences and bio-engineering. Multiple paths have been embedded in the design of the curriculum. The main objective is to create a flexible educational experience comprising bioscience credentials like microbiology and immunology, biochemistry, molecular biology & genetic engineering, plant and animal cell & tissue culture, genomics and proteomics, IPR and Bioethics and bioengineering like bioprocess technology, down stream processing, unit operations along with chemical engineering, mathematics and basic engineering subjects. The highlight of the syllabus is to make students gain practical knowledge through in-plant training, projects, and educational tours.
Postgraduate
The program enables students to gain knowledge in biology, agriculture, natural resources, and related sciences. Courses are designed to suit both manufacturing, and R&D programs. Students are given strong insights into both theoretical and practical aspects of individual courses/subjects. Additionally, short-term research programs too are undertaken towards the end of the course.
Faculty
The faculty, carefully chosen from different disciplines of biotechnology, are the strength of the department. A strong cadre of core faculty oversee the curriculum and instruction. Many hold advanced academic degrees and are actively employed in research. The faculty participate in training and development activities, which update their knowledge in the current developments of biotechnology and to promote advanced research activities in the department. Their sound technical knowledge guides students.
Research & Consultancy
The department works with other departments, national and international industries and R&D institutions to develop expertise in molecular biology, metabolic engineering, protein engineering, microbiology, biochemistry, immunology, biotransformations, biodegradation, plant biotechnology, animal biotechnology, marine biotechnology, enzyme technology, bio-separations, biosensors, instrumentation, bioinformatics, computational biotechnology, medical biotechnology, bioprocess engineering, pharmaceutical biotechnology, biomedical engineering, tissue engineering, biofuels and alternate energy.
Major Events & Achievements
The department has an excellent record of achievements. Shabir Dhamani, a final year B.Tech student won the first prize in the national level entrepreneurship competition held at IIT, Chennai and Ms. Preethi has been selected as a staff of Larsen and Toubro, Baroda for her final year research work on "Generation of bioelectricity from waste water using microbial fuel cells". Apart from this, Mr. Ojas Mahopatra, a budding scientist, received the prestigious Junior Scientist Award from the Honorable President of India and Mr. Shan Narayanan has represented India in the World Cyber Games held in South Korea. The department tops the list in the placement percentage of SRM University. Under the 'Semester Abroad Program' 8 students have been sent to Universities like Massachusetts Institute of Technology - USA, University of California - Davis USA, Massachusetts Institute of Medicine (Josh Laboratory) - USA and UmeĆ” University - Sweden.
Industrial connection
The department has a record of sorts when it comes to linking up with the industry; in terms of student projects and training with highly recognized corporates/industries like Biocon, Bangalore; Santha Biotech, Hyderabad; Reliance Life Sciences, Mumbai; Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore; University of Madras, Chennai; Central Leather Research Institute, Chennai; Cancer Research Institute, Chennai; MS Swaminathan Research Foundation, Chennai; Tuberculosis Research Center, Chennai; Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Chennai; Medopharm, Chennai; Reddy's Lab, Hyderabad; NIOT, Chennai; Bharat Biotech, Chennai; Jain Institute, Bangalore; SPIC, Cuddalore; Kalinga Plant Resource Center, Bhuvaneshwar; GeoMarine Biotechnologies limited, Chennai; M.S. University, Baroda; Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai; and Anna University, Chennai.
Careers
This program prepares the student for entry-level work in the bioscience industry in the areas of research and development, production, clinical testing, and diagnostic work. Potential employers include biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, as well as laboratories in hospitals, government, universities, horticultural industries, conservation organizations, food and drink manufacturers, water industry, and agricultural industry and law enforcement.
