Biotechnology

Hi Sakshi, The innovative educational programme lays an emphasis on developing an analytical approach, built upon a robust knowledge intensive foundation. The graduates of the Department of Biotechnology and biosciences are essentially taught with a strong multidisciplinary approach, being trained in both applied biological sciences and applications through a rigorous curriculum, augmented by hands-on experience during internships. They are thus well trained to handle various assignments required by the industry and are well-equipped to diversify into various disciplines. Yes, The programme Ph.D. biotechnology is offered by LPU both in Full time and Part time mode. Emphasizes on off-the-shelf research to create new knowledge and explore future challenges. The researcher is expected to identify the research gaps, formulate objectives, develop methodologies for finding solutions to real life problems. Moreover, LPU offers flexible coursework options-
1) Classes on weekends (Saturday & Sunday only)
2) 4 days course work every month (Preferably every second week: Thu-Sun)
3)15 days course work (November/December)
The eligibility is:

Hi Dear
Bioinformatics is defined broadly as the study of the inherent structure of biological information. Medical centers are also increasingly hiring bioinformatics graduates as genomics data become important in medical research and clinical applications. # Bioinformatics Career Scope & Job prospects have become widespread after the merging of the information technology sector has taken place with that of molecular biology. Job prospects are in all sectors of biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and biomedical sciences, in research institutions, hospitals, and industry. # Bioinformatics have a bright future ! Bioinformatics is not only combination of Bio and Informatics but it also includes various fields like Drug Designing, Genomics, Proteomics, System Biology, Machine Learning, Advanced Algorithm for Bioinformatics, Structural Biology, Computational Biology and many more. # LPU Offers M.Sc. (Hons. ). Bioinformatics Duration : 2 years. (4 Semesters.
