Department of Environmental Biotechnology
“Sustaining the Planet Through Science – Skilling Learners in Environmental Innovation & Eco-Biotech Solutions.”
Introduction
The Department of Environmental Biotechnology at Aspire Tech Park enables learners to master cutting-edge biological and computational tools for tackling environmental challenges in soil, water, air, and waste systems. Programs are built around hands-on and software-based training in pollution diagnostics, bioremediation strategies, circular economy innovation, and sustainable product development. Ideal for learners from biotechnology, environmental science, microbiology, and life science disciplines, this department bridges knowledge with tools used in industry, climate projects, and environmental research.
Currently Active
Programs in microplastic diagnostics, bioremediation workflows, and sustainability toolkits are active this cycle.
Courses Under Validation
Advanced modules in predictive pollution modeling, microbial CO₂ sequestration, and AI-driven sustainability scoring are being finalized.
