M.Sc. in Biotechnology is a two-year postgraduate programme that deals with the advanced study of cellular and biomolecular processes for developing technologies and products in sectors such as health, agriculture, and the environment. Assam down town University offers a highly demanded M.Sc. in Biotechnology programme is one of the most sought-after multi-disciplinary fields with various applications in research and development.
The purpose of this course is to develop analytical skills among the students and enhance their proficiency in English language use. It introduces the students to various types of sentences used in different situations. Students will learn to ask questions, make connections among multiple texts and improve their comprehension skills.
MOOCS is provided through the Coursera Platform, which is an online course where students are allowed to take courses/ courses per semester based on the hours with relevance to the credit. The courses are provided by international universities across the world. During the courses, students have to submit assignments and quizzes.
This subject teaches the fundamental theory, design, and operational principles of instruments and the development of technologies for the measurement and manipulation of parameters within biological systems.
An introduction to the study of biological processes at the molecular level with emphases on protein structure and function, enzyme mechanism and kinetics, fundamentals of physical biochemistry, and the chemistry of biological molecules, including carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
The main focus of the course cell biology is to study the structure and function of cells. This course will focus on Eukaryotic cell biology, including subjects such as membrane structure and composition, transport, and trafficking; the cytoskeleton and cell mobility; macromolecule breakdown and energy generation; and cell integration into tissues. Important cellular processes such as cell cycle regulation, signal transduction, apoptosis (programmed cell death), and cancer cell biology will also be covered. Throughout the semester, we will try to connect errors in these numerous biological processes to human disorders to develop a better understanding of what happens when cells don't function properly.
This course covers principles of microbiology and the impact these organisms have on man and the environment. Topics include the various groups of microorganisms, their structure, physiology, genetics, microbial pathogenicity, infectious diseases, immunology, and selected practical applications. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate knowledge and skills including microscopy, aseptic technique, staining, culture methods, and identification of microorganisms.
This course will help the students understand the concept of writing research articles and reviews. Students will apprehend and understand the importance of different types of scientific writing /documentation.
Molecular technique course essentially comprises on the study of the deliberate modification of an organism's basic characteristics by manipulating its genetic material and other relevant techniques.
Immunology course includes description of the components of the Immune system and their functions, concepts of Immunity and immune response, altered immune responses like hypersensitivity and autoimmunity. It also includes concepts of cancer immunology, transplant immunology and immunodeficiency.
The course of genomics and molecular biology includes understanding of DNA, RNA and protein molecule’s structure and variations. The course pays attention in understanding the minute events associated with central dogma of life starting from DNA being replicated to transcribed and ultimately translated. The Post transcriptional and post translational events are discussed in dept. The course also touches upon about mutation, mutagens and repair mechanisms.
Through the Bioinformatics course, students will have both theoretical and practical knowledge on different computational techniques employed in analyzing biological data focusing on Genomics and Proteomics. The course will also give a brief idea on different computational approaches in the area of drug designing.
The course aims to give students a broad understanding of research methodology, including theory of science and qualitative and quantitative methods. It also intends to impart knowledge on basic concepts of ethics and safety that are essential for different disciplines of science and procedures involved and protection of intellectual property and related rights.
This course deals with the minutes on the immunological interactions, disease diagnosis, genetic engineering and bioinformatics and their applications in various diseases on practical basis.
Animal biotechnology is a branch of biotechnology in which molecular biology techniques are used to genetically engineer animals in order to improve their suitability for agriculture, industrial and pharmaceutical applications.
Medical Biotechnology Courses study the fusion of genetics, cell biology and many other sciences in order to further advance in medicine. It is a technical course in the medical stream for the students interested in studying living cells and organisms.
This course covers the methods, applications, and implementation of plant biotechnology in agriculture.
The objective of this course is to understand exploitation of microorganisms for human benefit. It is not only about brewery or bakery but also about enzymes, vitamins, food additives, organic acids made by fermentation of microbes. The student will gain knowledge of microbial fermentation processes, their utilities in real world and once they know they apply this knowledge to create a useful fermentation product.
The practical paper on medical biotechnology and bioprocess engineering is aimed at training the students on disease diagnostic techniques, antibiotic sensitivity assays
Agriculture with the use of agrochemicals in large amounts has, undoubtedly, resulted in a manifold increase in the production of farm commodities, but the adverse effects of these chemicals are clearly visible in the soil structure, soil microflora, quality of water, food, fodder and food materials. Organic farming is certainly an answer for creating a safe, good and clean environment, and the use of biofertilizers in preference to chemical fertilizers, offers economic and ecological benefits by way of soil health and fertility to farmers. Based on this rationale the Course “Organic farming Practices and Certification” is offered.
The paper on plant and animal biotechnology is aimed at teaching the students the applications of plant and animal biotechnology in different aspects.
This paper deals with the basic knowledge integrated pest management system, post-harvest modification to minimise the loss, biofertilizer, biopesticide, biofertilizers and concept of seed certification and its importance.
This paper introduces the students about ethics, patenting and Entrepreneurship
The paper introduces the students about Biofertilizers, medicinal plants and economically important plants
