Apart from imparting the general subject knowledge to the students and guiding them in their project work (s), the faculty members are encouraged at every level to pursue their research and publish papers periodically and also attend conferences on a regular basis. They are also encouraged to go for higher studies when ever possible. Research is mostly encouraged where there is not only global application (s) but also down – to - earth applications of immediate surroundings and the society.
School of Biotechnology has initiated research on thrust areas like
- Production of chemicals from biowaste.
- Production and synthesis of plant based active components.
- Microbial activity of selected endemic and endangered medicinal plant species.
- Micropropagation of economically important plants.
- Extraction essential enzymes from soil microorganisms.
- Bioseperation of heavy metals from industrial effluents.
- Biofertilisers and Eco-friendly technologies.
- Bioinformatics - Computational identification of candidate genes causing glaucoma.
- Bioinformatics – Structure prediction of proteins sequence from Agaricus sp.
