Introductions -

Symbiosis School of Biological Sciences (SSBS) was established by

Symbiosis International (Deemed University) in 2011 under the Faculty of
Medical Health Sciences (FoMHS) to address the need for a school devoted to
imparting training in Life Science research. The school has a strong research
foundation with an excellent publication profile and numerous research grants
awarded by the public and private funding agencies.

The focus areas of research are contemporary and well aligned with the
National guidelines. Research activities are empowered by excellent laboratory
infrastructure and highly experienced faculty members. Along with the
master’s programs, the school also offers doctoral programs in Biotechnology
and other areas of Life Science.
M.Sc. Biotechnology -

M.Sc. Biotechnology is our oldest programme that has undergone several

refinements since its inception in 2011. It is an interdisciplinary programme
offers courses in Stem Cell Biology, Bioprocess Engineering, Recombinant DNA
Technology, Bioanalytical Techniques, Genomics, Bioinformatics, and
Biostatistics. The programme also emphasizes understanding of fundamental
principles through courses in Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology,
Genetics, Microbiology, Virology, and Immunology. The programme provides
training on theoretical components of these subjects as well as excellent
hands-on experience in the well-equipped laboratory. The skill-based
programme incorporates Research Project as an integral component that
provides an opportunity for the students to get trained in independently
drafting a hypothesis, designing a research project, and performing laboratory
experiments followed by data analysis coupled with an opportunity to publish.
The programme also has a provision for a one-year research project as a
separate “stream” within M.Sc. Biotechnology programme with the sole
objective of skilling in contemporary areas to work towards a good research
publication to confer an edge over similar programmes in the country.

M.Sc. Biochemistry -

M.Sc. Biochemistry is our brand-new programme started in 2022 considering

the paucity of similar programmes in the vicinity and high demand from
industries and academics. This fundamental programme offering various
courses such as Enzymology, Metabolism, Metabolic and Genetic Engineering,
Bioanalytical Techniques, Genomics, Bioinformatics, Structural Biology, Drug
Discovery, and Biostatistics. The programme provides training on theoretical
components of these subjects as well as excellent hands-on experience in the
well-equipped laboratory. The programme incorporates Research Project as an
integral component that provides an opportunity for the students to get trained
in independently drafting a hypothesis, designing a research project, and
performing laboratory experiments followed by data analysis coupled with an
opportunity to publish.
Admissions Process -
For Academic Year 2023-24, SSBS is offering 2 years of full-time postgraduate
programmes in Biotechnology and Biochemistry, at the Lavale campus of
