The Department of Biotechnology and Medical Engineering is a new venture which has been introduced from the current academic year (2007-2008) under the support of Ministry of Human Resource Development with its main aim of producing qualified and dynamic engineers in the fast growing field of Biotechnology and Medical Engineering. The department has started with a full capacity with B. Tech, M. Tech and PhD students and with promising research activities in Biotechnology and Biomedical Engineering fields. The department comprises of a number of qualified faculties from different disciplines to fulfill the multidisciplinary objective of its various programme.
Biomedical Engineering is an exciting new discipline of engineering that covers the multidisciplinary knowledge of basic sciences, engineering, medicine and biology to solve important biological and medical problems. The Biomedical Engineering courses educate a student on how to gain technical expertise in biology and medicine simultaneously and contribute effectively in the development and improvement of healthcare solutions to enhance the quality of life of suffering patients. Our BME courses has been designed under the broad areas of Bioinstrumentation, Biomaterials, Biomechanics, Biomedical sensors, Biomedical imaging and Tissue engineering.
Biotechnology has emerged as the promising technology of the 21st century. The biotechnology has a tremendous impact in the area of agriculture, environment, medicine, food and other industries. Keeping this in mind, the courses has been designed to train the students in developing expertise in various aspects of biotechnology including Microbiology, Immunology, Molecular Biology, Genetic Engineering, Plant and Animal cell culture, Protein Engineering, Bioinformartics, Bioprocesses Engineering etc. to take up future challenges and make international impact in these areas.
The challenges of biomedical engineering hold the perfect blend of medicine, basic science, and applied technology. |
