We prepare our students to face and meet the challenges of biotechnology by laying a solid foundation of the subject knowledge through the excellent teaching methods of our faculty.

Our faculty members are selected from premier institutions worldwide, such as Harvard Medical School, Yale University, University of Maryland, Vanderbilt University, University of Virginia, NIH, ICGEB, JNU, and AIIMS.
