Applied Biology is a broad area where biological knowledge is put into applications, mainly through uses of modern advancements in science and technology. The multidisciplinary research areas of the department are well identified, finely tuned and target oriented. Our aim is to widen the scope of Applied Biological research for the benefit of the society.
