Biotechnology

The Laboratory utilizes a mixture of molecular diagnostic and classical techniques for detection and characterization of infectious microorganisms. Routine molecular techniques employing conventional PCR and a Real Time PCR method are applied for the rapid detection infectious pathogens.
The microbiome division is focused onunravelling the role of microbial community in human health using computational biology.

Development of infectious disease detection systems, Control of biofilm in clinical association infections, Human and environmental microbiome, antimicrobials and anti-quorum sensing molecules, Detection and control of antimicrobial resistance, understanding regulation of quorum sensing in infectious pathogens, wound healing properties of exopolysaccharides, Bioprospecting of bacteria and fungi, uranium toxicity.
