KIIT School of Biotechnology

School of Biotechnology was conceived in 2007 under the mentorship of Nobel Laureates Prof. Richard R. Ernst, Prof. Rolf M. Zinkernagel and Prof. Prof. Hans Hengartner, noted immunologist. With its humble beginning but strong fortitude, the School has achieved several milestones in the short span of 10 years. Currently, KIIT School of Biotechnology is a leader in Biotechnology education and training. It's world-renowned team of faculty and scientists provide an integrated, personalized and student-centered approach to conduct higher levels of research, education, support and outreach. The scholarly endeavors of the Biological Sciences faculty, staff and students as manifested by our courses and research activities define us as a broad-based department, spanning molecules and cells to tissues and organisms to populations and ecosystems. The school holds 40 fulltime faculty members from diversified field of biosciences and biotechnology such as Infection biology, Human disease biology, Biochemistry, Biomaterial, Environmental biotechnology, Biophysics, Cell biology, Genetics, Molecular biology, Nanotechnology, Computational biology, Bio-design and Plant biotechnology. The school is a manifestation of many collaborative research endeavors with national labs and international entities (ETH Zurich, University of Lausanne, LSTM London, NUI Galway, Karolinska Institute, Meharry Medical College, Murdoch University, University of Erlangen), shared resources and core facilities, and participation in a number of centers and trans-institutional programmes.
