M.Sc Medical Biotechnology is a job oriented program. The immense importance of Medical Biotechnology has already been witnessed by all of us during the Covid pandemic.
Our M.Sc (Medical Biotechnology) program degree course aims to render advanced skills in molecular medicine and recent advances in Biotechnology. The focus is on diagnostics, therapeutics and biomedical research with focus on the cutting-edge technology.
After this program, the students will have the right skills, knowledge and qualifications for a successful career in academia, allied medical field, research and industry.
The objective of M.Sc (Medical Biotechnology) program is to give a comprehensive training to postgraduate students to empower them with the knowledge of allied biomedical sciences to create a work force for advanced research and diagnostics in a medical environment. It is an opportunity for students after B.Sc. in any basic life sciences who want to opt for a career in an allied medical field. Those who pursue the Master’s programs gain expert level knowledge in their field.
M.Sc (Medical Biotechnology) provides; both conventional and innovative approaches to resolve the problems associated with clinical, diagnostic and advanced therapeutics. Here, we offer a blend of different science-oriented subjects, namely nano-biotechnology, clinical biochemistry, biomedical devices, medical microbiology, bioinformatics, omics in biology, cell and tissue engineering, molecular medicine, etc., to understand the advancements in the field of medicine and cater to the field of personalized medicine. In this program, students will understand deeply how a disease affects the human body at the cellular level and the kind of opportunities it presents to devise new strategies. In the initial three semesters; we intend to teach them the theory courses along with the laboratory.
For more flexibility to students we offer integrated Ph.D program- the students will complete the M.Sc. program requirements and then start their PhD program. Duration: 5 to 7 years
After this program a number of opportunities would open for these students as they will be ready for a variety of jobs in biomedical instrumentation/devices/advanced diagnostics/imaging specialist etc. just to name a few.
A Master in Medical Biotechnology is expected to have an understanding about the use of multidisciplinary approaches to solve a complex problem in the biomedical field. Mandatory teaching and training activities in this program therefore aim to provide students with integrated knowledge in the basic yet advanced modern and upcoming biomedical disciplines. Ultimately; the graduates will be able to develop methods with biotechnological advances and improve conventional technologies or come up with a new strategy. Thus this course offers a lot of scope for a career in Medical Biotechnology; also as a policy maker, a consultant, a researcher, an industry professional or as an entrepreneur.
