Welcome to the Centre for Life Sciences (CLS)!

Since the establishment of Centre for Life Sciences (CLS), we have been focusing on developing an educational ecosystem to equip students with the skills and knowledge essential for today’s global environment. The backbone of any educational system are the faculty who are not only trained in world’s best institutes but are “Global Researchers, Engaged Educators” to implement effective teaching learning practices aimed at inculcating futuristic professional competencies in a research-enabled outcome-based learning environment. Our curriculum has been designed in such a way that the students go through the academic journey with in-depth learning of not only core courses in biotechnology and computational biology but also explorations in entrepreneurship, humanities & social sciences, computation, electronics application, foreign language, physical and chemical sciences so that they are professionally competent to solve any problem or develop technological solutions to problems in healthcare, nutrition, and environment.

Keeping in view the global demand of professionals trained in domain-specific biotechnology and computational biology we have created a flexible curricular path through electives and specializations. All our students will have the opportunity to experience of how to be successful in an industrial setting through our compulsory internship programme for which no other place is better than Hyderabad- The Hub of Life Sciences in Asia. Students will also get a first glimpse of cutting edge research through our research-driven faculty projects in almost every course, starting from 1st year to final-year projects, which will equip them with the essential skills in teamwork and scientific problem solving.

I look forward to having young enthusiastic students joining our Life Sciences family, as they embark on an exciting learning journey with us. I believe this will be the best decision made by current and prospective students as they will be well equipped and prepared with the essential skills and knowledge to face the imminent challenges in the working world without compromising on an exuberant student life.
