 Message from PBS Coordinator.
➢ The Polymer and Biosystems (PBS) program is an
interdisciplinary initiative at (IIT) Hyderabad aimed at
training students in skilfully solving engineering problems
in the emerging areas of artificial intelligence(AI), polymer
science, drug design and microfabrication .

➢ Emphasis on advanced courses in Statistics, AI and

Machine Learning(ML) allowing students to adapt and
comprehend market needs.

➢ Hands-on training in research projects that have potential

applications in healthcare and allied sectors.

➢ Industry experiences in the form of lectures and interactive

sessions from prominent industry personnel (IBM,
GeneTech, JMP, ANSYS & startups like Malai Biomaterial
and E-Spin Nanotech).

➢ Establishing a long-term partnership with industries to

work on problems of mutual interest to develop sustainable
technologies for medical diagnostics.
