Biomolecules Biocatalysis Laboratory

The Biomolecules and Biocatalysis Laboratory offers a better research environment to devise real-time pollution control strategies.

Biomolecules & Biocatalysis Laboratory (BBL) is an Industrial and government-funded research laboratory fully engaged in multidisciplinary and collaborative research in the field of Environmental Biotechnology. Major research is focused on Industrial waste management, which includes both liquids and solid wastes, and the recovery of industrially important, high-value products from industrial wastes through bioprocessing. BBL’s research activities are mainly aimed at mitigating the negative impacts of oily wastes, bioremediation of emerging contaminants, and recalcitrant organic pollutants in contaminated sites and thereby contributing to society. BBL is collaborating with various industries, such as petroleum oil refineries, the pigment industry, Automobiles, Pharmaceuticals and Papermill industry, and developing various biomolecules and integrated biotechnological approaches for real-time problem solving.
