The main aim of the course is 1. to boost the Knowledge of food safety and its scope in quality control of food 2. to understand the basic techniques involved in ensuring food quality and to know the quality of milk and milk products.

The main aim of the course is 1. to study about various plant diseases and subsequent control. 2. to apply bio-fertilizers and bio-control agents as a means for sustainable agriculture. 3. to learn the basic principles of environmental microbiology and be able to apply these principles to understand and solve problems in water quality and bioremediation. 4. to become familiar with current research in environmental microbiology.

The student should be able to understand the basics of bioprocess technology and microbial biotechnology. Students should be able to have knowledge of various types of fermenter including air-lift fermenter and cyclone column fermenter. Student should have knowledge of kinetics of fermentation processes. Student should be able to execute the improvement and application of industrial microorganisms as well. Moreover student will be able to develop practical approach for the subject and will be able to work in related industries.

This course provides a platform for students to gain a theoretical understanding of molecular biology, cell biology, genetic engineering/biotechnology and their application through lectures.

• The course focuses on descriptive and inferential statistics as applied to medical practice.
• This course covers statistical methods (measures of central tendency and measures of dispersion) commonly used by biostatisticians and their application in current research problems.
• The course starts with descriptive measures and probability concepts. Conditional probability and Bayes theory are given due emphasis to compute validity indicators for clinical and laboratory tests, i.e. sensitivity, specificity and predictive values for single and multiple tests.
• The students are trained to draw statistical inferences by two main methods these are: Estimation and Hypothesis testing.
• The course covers both parametric and non-parametric statistics. The course will cover t-test for independent means and t-test for non-independent means, the use of Chi-Square statistics tests, regression statistics, and the analysis of variance (ANOVA), use of the arithmetic and geometric prediction involving population data. Chi-square variants are discussed with relevant clinical examples

The main objective is

• To describe the main steps and processes used to produce biological products in Pharmaceutical industry.
• To understand ethical issues in production microbiology, such as standards of laboratory and in-plant behaviour and etiquette.

The student should be able to perform various experiments related to fermentation and further to understand the basics of bioprocess technology and microbial biotechnology along with bioreactor design, their operation and instrumentation. Students should be able to have knowledge of various types of fermenters including air-lift fermenter and cyclone column fermenter and to execute the improvement and application of industrial microorganisms. Student should be able to have knowledge of industrial enzymes, fermentative products, alcoholic beverages and antibiotic production.
