Biosciences & Biotechnology


An integrated Biotechnology approach is essential to work on complex problems in biosciences. Our research interest is to employ the principles of engineering and natural sciences to tissues, cells and molecules to improve their functions in plants and microorganisms. We also encourage exploration, extraction and production of value added products from micro organisms  by means of biochemical engineering. Foundation supports cost-effective initial investment on R & D, where there is a potential for durable patents rights. Biodiversity and microbiome studies, metabolomics are also included in the scope of our research interest.
