Despite teaching, institute provides all students and facultieswith appropriate research ambience and freedom to respect their scientific inquisitiveness, allow forming novel and progressive collaborations, and motivate their research. While probing basic biological processes, the faculty members engross in various challenging high risk project works encompassing the field of human health and diseases immunology, infection biology, genetics & genomics, Insect biology and bioinformatics. To conduct high through put research, faculties are mostly depend on competitive funds available from various national and international agencies and foundation granting agencies through the active participation against call for proposals.
