Introduction to M. Sc. (Biomedical Science) Program:
Biomedical science is in an amalgamation of biological sciences and medical sciences. The focus of this program is to gain advanced knowledge and skills in the field of Biomedical Sciences, which would create a strong base for research & development for innovative ideas & translation of inventions to clinical medicine for the betterment of human health. Advanced biomedical research is a rapidly-changing, dynamic and complex science that continuously demands accuracy, efficiency, and attention to minute details. The program is a first-of-its-kind in this region of Karnataka. It is a great opportunity for students who are interested in basic, advanced, and translational research and aspire to careers in academia, biomedical research in research centers/Institutes/University or to work in the biotechnical, pharmaceutical and health care industry in Indian and abroad.
Objectives of the Program:
The two years Master of Science in Biomedical Science program provide students with an intellectually motivating education to acquire a systematic understanding of integrated specialties of biological and medical sciences. Our M. Sc. in Biomedical Science program will give students a strong foundation in a range of medically related subjects, including anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, cell biology, microbiology, biochemistry immunology, nanotechnology, cell technologies, and OMICS technologies as well as other specialized subjects like statistics, bioethics, IPR, regulations.
Scope of the Program:
It always gives the personal satisfaction of using our scientific and detective skills to investigate disease to help scientists, physicians, and clinicians to alleviate the sufferings and/or save the life of patients. This program helps in diversifying of an interesting and rewarding career with a range of opportunities for personal and career development.
- The students will acquire hands-on experience in laboratory techniques—Skill development.
- Develop communication skills through group discussions, journal clubs, and seminar presentations.
- Education in the preparation of audio-visual aids for teaching, posters/manuscripts preparation and presentation in conferences/workshops, as well as journal publications.
- Allow them to shape their subsequent advanced studies, Ph.D. and Post-doctoral research towards the topics that interest them the most in the areas of Biological and Medical Sciences.
- Seeking for jobs in Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical Industries, Healthcare industry, and Research Centres/Institutes/University.
