Department of Molecular Biology & Biotechnology
“Tools of Tomorrow, Taught Today – Master Molecular Skills Beyond the Syllabus.”
Introduction
The Department of Molecular Biology & Biotechnology at Aspire Tech Park is built for graduates and postgraduates in life sciences, biotechnology, microbiology, genetics, and allied fields who are ready to move beyond outdated academic routines. This department doesn’t repeat PCR or central dogma theory, it helps you master the most in-demand lab, diagnostic, and bio-industrial skills needed in R&D labs, clinical diagnostics, molecular pharma, and biotech companies. Every module is designed to bridge the skill gap with hands-on workflows, certifiable tool experience, and placement-focused project exposure.
Currently Active
Skill workshops and internships in PCR, molecular diagnostics, and genetic techniques are running this semester.
Courses Under Validation
Gene editing workflows, CRISPR tutorials, and molecular assay-based diagnostics are being finalized with institutional partners.
