B.Sc. (Hons) Biomedical Sciences (under CBCS)

The Deemed University has been offering B.Sc. Biomedical Sciences Program from the academic year 2007-08 with an option of opting one of the four major specializations in the fourth year of the Program in Biomedical Sciences, Human Genetics, Biotechnology and Bioinformatics. The B.Sc. Biomedical Sciences program, which is one of its kind in the country, has been meticulously designed keeping in mind the importance of imparting complete education with emphasis towards understanding the fundamentals of basic sciences and medical sciences, which provides a strong foundation for higher studies and professional careers. The curriculum is strongly multi-disciplinary and will sensitize students to the latest developments in the field of Biomedical Sciences like Genomics, Proteomics, Applied Biotechnology, Antibody Engineering, Medical Genetics, Medical Transcription and Cancer Biology. The curriculum also emphasizes basic chemical, physical, mathematical sciences, computer applications and management principles.  The program aims at producing highly trained and skilled biomedical scientists who will have flexible career opportunities and can make valuable contributions in the field of biomedical research. This degree will open doors to higher studies (Master’s and Doctoral Programs) and academic staff positions at leading universities and research institutes in India and across the globe.

M.Sc. Biomedical Sciences (under CBCS)

The Master’s programme in Biomedical Sciences provides a unique combination of fundamental research and clinical application, with a special focus on multidisciplinary aspect such as biochemical, molecular and patho-physiological mechanism of diseases. Investigating and understanding the diseases give the skill and knowledge to work towards discovery and development of preventive/ therapeutic drugs. There is an increasing prevalence of noncommunicable diseases as a result of lifestyle changes and urbanization in India. Infectious diseases are also still persisting as major health problems in Indian population. These are the challenges that are to be tackled in the new millennium, so there is a need to understand the pathogenesis and to develop the new markers and diagnostic protocols with respect to the relevant field. The requirement for Biomedical Scientist is important because they are expected to bridge the gap between biomedical research, diagnostics and clinical applications
