Research over the last 30-40 years have lead to unprecedented advancements in various disciplines ranging from cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, developmental and computational biology. Subsequently, adoption of an interdisciplinary approach has become the need of the hour to better understand the complexities of the biological world. Since its inception in the year 2016, the department’s vision has been to help students gain in-depth exposure to emerging domains in lifescience and prepare them to be front-runners in the field of research and development (R&D) in academia and industry alike.
