Biotechnology is the application of scientific and engineering principles to raw materials through biological agents to provide goods and services for mankind. The scientific and conceptual foundations of Biotechnology are derived from Biochemistry, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Genetics and Chemical and Process Engineering. Biotechnology has made rapid progress during the last two decades. Much of this success is due to the expectation that the development of new technologies can produce various compounds beneficial to the daily lives of human beings and in preserving the environmental health of the earth. Biotechnology has emerged as a revolutionary development, which has the potential to galvanize and broaden the base of industrial structures in developing countries and to discover new directions in agriculture, environment, health, industry and energy. There are clear indications that this new technology will have a significant role in the future economic growth of developing countries. Responding to the challenges, the University decided to integrate biotechnology into its educational and research programs through establishment of the Department of Biotechnology. The Department is engaged in training the students in teaching and research in the fields of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering.
