MTech Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering

Master of Technology in Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering

M.Tech (Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering) or Master of Technology in Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering is a two-year postgraduate Biotechnology Course. Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering covers all aspects of biotechnology and bioengineering. Course covers applied biology & biochemistry, molecular biology & biomolecular engineering, biocatalysis & biotransformation, combinatorial chemistry, microbiology & metabolic engineering, pharmaceutics & biomaterials, bioprocess control & system engineering, bioseparation, biosensor & bioelectronics, cell culture engineering, environmental biotechnology, food tech-neology, and nano-biotechnology.

The Master of Technology course in Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering helps to focus on the development of processes for the sustainable production of organic bulk chemicals and the generation of energy from organic raw materials, residuals, and waste products. Ideally, this can be coupled with the recovery of inorganic by-products for reuse as fertilizers, and, where possible, the treatment of intrinsic process water.
