The Department of Biotechnology and Medical Engineering was established in 2007
with the objective of providing a multidisciplinary research and teaching program
in Biotechnology and Medical Engineering that advances fundamental understanding
of how biological systems operate and to develop effective biology-based technologies
for applications across a wide spectrum of societal needs including innovations
in diagnosis, therapy of human diseases, design of novel biomaterials, biomedical
devices, and in solving environmental hazard.
The faculty members have diverse research interests and they conduct both basic
and applied research in diverse areas like Cell & Molecular Engg, Tissue Engineering
& Biomaterials, Bioprocess Engineering, Environmental & Plant Biotechnology, Biomechanics
& Biotransport Engineering, Medical Electronics & Instrumentation etc. The innovative
educational programs created by the department integrates all level of biological
and Medical Sciences with a quantitative, systems-oriented engineering analysis
and synthesis approach that helps to make our undergraduate and graduate students
capable to manage industrial and academic problems at professional levels.
Vision
To become a globally recognized department of higher learning by producing quality
Engineers and Technologists in the field of Biotechnology and Biomedical Engineering.
Mission
To advance and spread knowledge in the area of Biotechnology and Biomedical Engineering
through multidisciplinary teaching and research contributing to healthcare, food,
energy and environment.
