Department of Biotechnology

The University of Cochin was reorganized as Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) in February 1986. Research activities of the department are presently centered around areas such as microbial technology, medical biochemistry, genetic engineering, molecular neurobiology, cell biology and plant biotechnology. The research students generally get absorbed as scientists in different national and international laboratories and as lecturers in universities and colleges. A center for neurosciences was established in 2000 with the intention of bringing the industries, medical colleges, research institutions and hospitals closer to its research accomplishments. The center organizes annual workshops, meetings, lectures and awareness programs.
