About the department
Department of Biomedical Sciences
Biomedical Sciences deals with the scientific basis of health and disease in humans and animals and is currently the most rapidly developing area in basic biological science. The academic environment provides contemporary learning with avenues for translatory research, together with industry-specific training for the students.
Biomedical Sciences unites multiple disciplines, which include cellular biology with molecular biology and biochemistry alongside biotechnology, bioinformatics, immunology, and human genetics. This lays the foundation for diagnostics as well as pharmaceutical research, medical study, agricultural development and diagnostic technology.
