Research and Development at SBB

The School of Biosciences and Bioengineering at D Y Patil International University is deeply committed to advancing research, our approach has been interdisciplinary with a focus to solve problems. The school fosters a vibrant research ecosystem through ultra-modern laboratories, high-performance computing facilities which are being continuously upgraded. Over the years we have developed strong collaborations with national and international institutions.

Our faculty members are doctorates from prestigious institutions across the world, and lead various projects, and guide students for their doctorate programs.

Here are the key areas of research within Biosciences and Bioengineering at DYPIU:
Computational Biology: Our faculty and students work across diverse areas such as bioinformatics, computational biology, molecular medicine, immunology, neuroscience, and structural biology. Some of the projects are
- Design and development of therapeutics and drug repurposing.
- Computational modelling and Vaccine design.
- Applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Molecular Dynamics in medicine.
Health Care Diagnostics and Therapy: The numerous approaches used in this section involve use of biomaterials; genetic technology combined with computations.
- Utilizing Biomaterials for diagnostics, therapy, and theragnostic - Designing healthcare solutions for drug delivery in chronic and acute health conditions. - Using genetic and in silico approaches to diagnose cancers.
Food Biotechnology: Deals with processes for food preparation, preservation, and quality management, including food packaging. Many students are working on value addition to traditional food items.
Cell and Tissue Engineering: Concentrates on biocompatible materials, tissue-engineered constructs, cellular therapy, and regenerative medicine (including stem cell therapy).
