Environmental Biotechnology Lab
Environmental Biotechnology is a research oriented lab where multi-disciplinary research such as biofuel production from wastes, microalgal cultivation for water treatment, and fuel synthesis is conducted.
This lab is highly engaged in research activities where students (UG, PG and PhD scholars) are associated with environmental biotechnology, bioenergy, and bioprocess engineering. Most of all, translational research ideas are encouraged. The basis of this lab is B5 (Break the Barrier and Build a Bridge by Biotechnology).
