Advanced Postgraduate Program in Nanobiotechnology (APGP-NB)

Nano-Biotechnology is that specialized area of Nanotechnology, which uses the tools and processes of Nano and Micro Fabrication to build devices and structures to understand and study biological systems. Bio-Nanotechnology focuses on atomic and molecular level manipulation and manufacturing of biological molecules for specific applications which is often used interchangeably with Nano-Biotechnology. The convergence of Nanotechnology and Biotechnology opens the possibility for a wide variety of biological research topics and medical uses at the molecular and cellular level. The application of Nanotechnology in Biotechnology will provide information with unprecedented precision and sensitivity. It will not only provide much deeper understanding of bios stems but also lead to the development of new revolutionary modalities of bi-molecular manufacturing, early diagnostics, medical treatment, and disease prevention beyond the cellular level to that of DNA and individual proteins-the building blocks of the life process. The long-term goal of Nano-Biotechnology is to contribute to the overall human development and improvise on fictional revolutionary concepts to reality.


Considering this, the advanced postgraduate program has a strong research focus on exploring the possibilities of different aspects of convergence of two technologies while trading a thin margin between Nanobiotechnology and Bio-Nanotechnology.

Focus Areas:

- Bionanomaterials

- Nanobioelectronics

- Lab-On-Chip

- Bioimaging
