M. Sc. Degree Course in
Molecular Biology & Genetic Engineering
|
|
Molecular Biology is a
coherent set of principles, concepts and applications
pertaining to nucleic acids and proteins. In other words, it
includes all the emergent properties of life from atoms to
ecosystem. One of the larger goals of modern molecular
biology is to elucidate the connections between the genotype
and the phenotype of all organisms in terms of genetics and
biochemistry at molecular level. It is concerned,
particularly with the interactions between DNA, RNA and
protein and learning how these interactions are regulated to
metabolism. Genetic engineering as a tool of molecular
biology provides all the techniques used to identify,
replicate, modify and transfer the genetic material for the
complete management of genomes.

GENOMICS AND PROTEOMICS
|
|
Genomics
is rapidly becoming a multifaceted sub-discipline of
biology, and aims to understand: the molecular
organization and information content of the entire genome
and its gene products. Genomics includes the development and
application of new mapping, sequencing, and computational
procedures for the molecular analysis of the entire genome.
Genomics has 3 distinct subfields: (a) Structural
genomics- the genetic and physical mapping, and sequencing
of entire genomes, (b) Functional genomics - the analysis of
gene and non-gene sequences, particularly all those genes
that make RNA or the transcriptome, and all those genes that
make only mRNA for translation into protein, or the
proteome, (c) Comparative genomics - the comparison of
entire genomes from different organisms to understand
functional and evolutionary relationships. Computational
genomics is the comprehensive study of reading and
interpreting genetic information of a cell or organism using
computational analysis.

BIOMATERIALS AND TISSUE

Over the last two decades,
scientific and technological innovations have greatly
contributed towards the development and application of
exotic man made materials and devices for various clinical
applications. The emergence of biologically active synthetic
materials for different clinical applications have given lot
of promises and hopes in the medical world as an alternative
to biological counter parts. Today, tissue engineering is a
fast emerging area of interest and the use of biomaterials,
growth factors and modern fabrication techniques are
integral part of the whole area of tissue reconstruction.
The material for implantation purpose should possess certain
physical, chemical and mechanical characteristics to suite
the functional requirement. In addition, they should fulfill
some essential biological requirements, in order to function
successfully as an implant inside the body. This is termed
as biocompatibility and the material satisfying the
requirements are called biomaterials. A material qualifies
as a biomaterial after a series of toxicological and
biological tests (both in-vitro and in-vivo) to screen
biocompatibility. This is to ensure the acceptance of the
implant material by the body and to see that they do not
elicit any adverse reaction in the surrounding tissues (like
inflammatory responses, necrosis, and intracutaneous
irritation, pyrogenicity, allergy, carcinogenicity,
mutagenicity etc). This program is offered in response to
the growing need to improve and expand the dimension of
biomaterial sciences in biomedical technology through
emphasis on joint multidisciplinary collaborations between
industry and academia.
