TRACK 1 : Biotechnology

Biotechnology is technology that utilizes biological systems, living organisms or components of this to develop or produce totally different product. At its simplest, biotechnology is technology supported biology - biotechnology harnesses cellular and biomolecular processes to develop technologies and product that facilitate improve our lives and therefore the health of our planet. Biotechnology is that the use of biology to unravel issues and build helpful product. The foremost distinguished approach used is recombinant DNA technology that permits scientists to tailor an organism’s DNA at will. Biotechnology is best celebrated for its role in drugs and prescription drugs, however the science is additionally applied in different areas like genetic science, food production, and therefore the production of biofuels.

TRACK 2 : Genetic Engineering

Genetic engineering is that the method of using recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology to change the genetic makeup of an organism. Historically, humans have manipulated genomes indirectly by dominant breeding and choosing offspring with desired traits. It involves the direct manipulation of 1 or additional genes. Most often, a gene from other species is added to an organism's genome to allow it a desired composition. Modifications are often sequence rated by strategies like gene targeting, nuclear transplantation, transfection of synthetic chromosomes or viral insertion. Selective breeding isn't thought-about a sort of genetic engineering.

TRACK 3 : Cell Biology

Cell biology (also cellular biology or cytology) may be a branch of biology that studies the structure, function and behavior of cells. All living organisms are made of cells. A cell is that the basic unit of life that's liable for living and functioning of organisms. It’s the study of structural and practical units of cells. Also, encompasses both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and has several subtopics which can embrace the study of cell metabolism, cell communication, cell cycle, organic chemistry, and cell composition. The study of cells is performed exploitation many research techniques, cell culture, and cell fractionation. These have allowed for and square measure presently being employed for discoveries and analysis concerning however cells operate, ultimately giving insight into understanding larger organisms. Knowing the elements of cells and the way cells work is prime to any or all biological sciences whereas additionally being essential for analysis in medical specialty fields like cancer, and alternative diseases. On the total, cell biology focuses on the structure and performance of a cell, from the foremost general properties shared by all cells, to the distinctive, extremely tortuous functions specific to specialized cells.

TRACK 4 : Gene and Cellular Therapies

Tissue engineering is a biomedical engineering discipline that uses a combination of cells, engineering, materials methods, and suitable biochemical and physicochemical factors to revive, maintain, improve, or replace differing types of biological tissues. Tissue engineering typically involves the utilization of cells placed on tissue scaffolds within the formation of recent viable tissue for a medical purpose however isn't restricted to applications involving cells and tissue scaffolds. Whereas it had been once categorized as a sub-field of biomaterials, having mature in scope and importance it are often thought-about as a field in its own. Mixtures of cells and materials have the flexibility to reorganize themselves supported the strength of adhesion between cells and substrate and among the assorted cell sorts gift within the tissue construct. Finally, tissue constructs should be intimately integrated into the host's vascular system so as provide to produce economical nutrient supply and waste removal.

Biotechnology is that the field that exploits living organisms to create technological advances in various fields for the sustainable development of mankind. It has its applications within the medical moreover as agricultural sectors. The biological processes of living organisms have been used for more than 6000 years to make essential products like bread, cheese, alcohol, etc.

Following are the important applications of biotechnology:

• Nutrient Supplementation
• Abiotic Stress
• Industrial Biotechnology
• Strength Fibres
• Biofuels
• Healthcare

TRACK 12 : Pharmaceutical Biotechnology and Drug Design

The Pharmaceutical Sciences and Drug Design program is geared toward designing effective new drug therapies while minimizing adverse effects. Students can receive didactic and laboratory training in the design and development of pharmacological compounds together with the disciplines of molecular and cellular pharmacology and pharmacodynamics, medicinal chemistry, pharmacokinetics, pharmaceutics and toxicology. Research in the program involves a diverse range of therapeutic areas involves cancer, cardiovascular, dermatological, immune-mediated, and neurological diseases.

TRACK 13 : Biochemistry

Biochemistry or biological chemistry, is that the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. A sub-discipline of each chemistry and biology, biochemistry may be divided into three fields: structural biology, enzymology and metabolism. Most of all areas of the life sciences are being uncovered and developed through biochemical methodology and research. Biochemistry targets on understanding the chemical basis which allows biological molecules to allow rise to the processes that occur within living cells and between cells, successively relating greatly to the understanding of tissues and organs, additionally as organism structure and function. Biochemistry is closely associated with molecular biology that is the study of the molecular mechanisms of biological phenomena.

TRACK 14: Immunology

Immunology may be a branch of biology and medicine that covers the study of immune systems in all organisms. Immunology charts, measures, and contextualizes the physiological functioning of the immune system in states of each health and diseases; malfunctions of the immune system in immunological disorders  like autoimmune diseases, hypersensitivities, immune deficiency,  and transplant rejection and the physical, chemical, and physiological characteristics of the components of the immune system in vitro,  in situ, and in vivo. Immunology has applications in varied disciplines of medicine, particularly in the fields of organ transplantation, oncology, rheumatology, virology, bacteriology, parasitology, psychiatry, and dermatology. 

TRACK 15: Cancer Biotechnology

Cancer is that the degeneration of one kind of cell within an organism into something anarchistically powerful, and nasty. As this new cell-form uncontrollably proliferates and embeds itself during a tissue host, a tumor is born. Once tumor cells later spread, the prognosis for its victim rapidly diminishes, a process known as metastasis. Detected at an early stage, cancer is benign and solvable. However once metastases appear the challenge becomes a full new (depressingly difficult) ball-game. Research targeted on understanding the molecular mechanisms of cancer, and developing diagnostics and drugs for its cure. The foremost cross-disciplinary of contemporary research areas, cancer biotechnology research involves scientists from medicine, biology, physics and engineering disciplines.
