PhD course
The department has an active PhD program. Please click here for further details about the PhD course.
Post-MD/MS Course in Biotechnology
Objective of the course is to train faculty members of medical colleges in newly emerging areas of medical biotechnology including DNA diagnostics and DNA therapeutics molecular medicine. The course is of one year duration and two students are taken every year. Major areas of teaching include medical biotechnology, recombinant DNA technology and DNA-based diagnosis and therapeutics. Prospective students should have MD/MS or an equivalent degree in any medical speciality. Selection is on an all-India basis. Please click here for further details about the post MD/MS course.
