  • Cell & Molecular Biology:

    Research focused on cell structure and activity, and the molecular basis of biological activity between the various systems of a cell. By observing interactions between the different types of DNA, RNA and proteins and their biosynthesis, researchers examine how these interactions are regulated. The holistic approach using ‘-omics’ is integral to today’s cell and molecular biology research.

  • Developmental Biology & Neurobiology:

    Interdisciplinary research concerning the nervous system and the process by which animals and plants grow and develop. Research in these areas focuses on understanding the functions of the neural system, developing drugs for neurological disorders, and contributing to general understanding of human body development. The research encompasses fields such as biology, chemistry, cognitive science, computer science, engineering, linguistics, mathematics, medicine, genetics, philosophy, physics, and psychology.

  • Diagnostics & Medical Devices:

    Biotechnology researchers develop many of the tests (biochemical, electrochemical, optical, and imaging-based) used by medical laboratories, as well as the instruments, implants, in vitro reagents, and other devices used to diagnose, prevent, or treat diseases or other pathological conditions. Researchers from biology, chemistry, engineering and medicine disciplines work in this area.
