AMET UNIVERSITY
(Under Section 3 of the UGC act 1956)
CHENNAI - www.ametuniv.ac.in
ADMISSION M.Sc. Marine Biotechnology
AMET University is one of the few Institutions which offer PG Programme in Marine Biotechnology
The Potential for Marine Biotechnology Industry The Marine environment is a rich source of both biological and chemical diversity which has been the source of unique chemical compounds with the potential for industrial development as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, nutritional supplements, molecular probes, enzymes, fine chemicals and agrichemicals. These classes of marine bioproducts have potential multi-billion dollar market value.
The oceans represent a virtually untapped resource for discovery of even more novel compounds with useful activity.
There are several marine-derived products currently on the market.
The challenge facing the marine biotechnology industry in the next millennium is to:
• identify new sources of marine bioproducts.
• develop novel screening technologies,
• provide a sustainable source of supply; and
• optimize production and recovery of the bioproducts
M.Phil and Ph.D programme in Biotechnology and Microbiology
They have started courses such as M.Phil. and Ph.D programme in Biotechnology and Microbiology.
(Both part-time & full time)
Course Profile & Job Opportunities
Besides regular class room teaching and practicals, emphasis is made towards research orientation and hands-on-training in biotechnological and mircrobiological original work practice resulting in isolation and characterization of luminous bacteria, extremophiles, multienzyme producing marine bacteria etc., and developing suitable media so that students pursue their own original potential when placed in industry.
The Faculty and students have now successfully isolated and characterized few marine bacterial isolates that could effectively produce various enzymes such as protease, amylase and cellulose. The Department of Biotechnology has full-fledged infrastructure and equipment to meet the stated objective.
The course aims at sustainably converting the biological material into bioproducs and processes for generating employment opportunities such as in Bio-pharma companies, laboratories involved in drug design, drug discovery, vaccines, pharmaceuticals, biomarkers and ITES MNCs.
Pursue research which will give great openings as Research Executives in Biolabs and Bioindustries and Academics in Universities and Educational Institutions
Eligibility
A pass in three years B.Sc. Degree in Botany, Zoology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Biotechnology or Chemistry main with life sciences as allied subjects with not less than 55 % marks in Part-iii or Four years B.Sc, Agriculture or a Degree in M.B.B.S. from any recognized University.
Duration
2 Years (4 Semesters)
