Applied Biology Laboratory

The Applied Biology laboratory is recently started in the Department. The research focus is integrating Bioengineering, Nanotechnology with Life sciences. The current research projects are on diagnostics and biosensing for hospital borne and water borne infections and metabolic disesases. The aim is to develop Point-of-Care devices for prognosis, diagnosis and monitoring of dieseaes integrating nanomaterials.

The laboratory also gives hands-on experience to under-graduate and post-graduate students to carry out short-term projects and practicals.

The lab is having microbial culture laboratory, refrigerated centrifuge, PCR, electrochemical workstations, Biosafety cabinets. The department is planning to develop a state-of-the art laboratory for Nano-Biotechnology and Bioengineering.

We have also started with Animal Tissue Culture and Molecular Biology Lab with equipments like Biosafety cabinet, CO₂ incubator, Centrifuges, plate readers, Gel electrophoresis set-up.

Faculty in Charge: Dr. Mahesh Shindikar, Dr. Mahendra Ranjekar, Dr. Anup Kale
