M.Tech.(Pharm.):Pharmaceutical Technology(Biotechnology)

The laboratories in the department are working in the areas of cell biology, biochemistry, immunology, molecular biology, microbiology, parasitology, cell culture, and membrane drug interaction. The department is actively pursuing research in the following areas.

* Targeting signal transduction involved in microbial drug resistance
* Identification of new target protein(s) in insulin mediated signal transduction and in insulin resistance
* Enzyme drug interaction of medically important enzymes (Xanthine oxidase, HMG-CoA reductase etc.)
* Membrane drug interaction for better understanding of tissue specific drug targeting
* Proteomic analysis of yeast and mammalian cell to identify genes that regulate aging and knowledge based pathway building using informatics to understand set of circuits involved human longevity
* Applied recombinant DNA technology for production of commercially important biochemicals
