Industrial biotechnology or White Biotechnology is the application of enzymes, living cells, plants and microorganism-based biotechnological techniques for the production of chemical products, materials and fuels. Several industrial sectors, including chemical and pharmaceutical, human and animal nutrition, pulp and paper, textiles, energy, materials, and polymers, apply industrial biotechnological techniques to deliver end products.
The PG program is designed to cater to the need of the ever-evolving biotechnology industry including chemical and pharmaceutical, food ingredients, human and animal nutrition, health, pulp and paper, polymers, textiles, energy, materials, etc. These industries require professionals in several job profiles like Trainee Research Associate, Research Associate, Research Scientist, Managers, and Business Development Executive, etc. Students graduating with MSc. Industrial Biotechnology will be able to successfully seize these roles because of their competitive and advanced skills learned in the program.
