Biotechnology at a Glance: |
Biotechnology a sub discipline of applied biology involves the use of living
organism, bioprocesses, biological forms and systems in engineering, technology,
medicine and other fields, maximizing benefits to man and other forms of life.
Although people are the real wealth of nations, it is fruitful to create an
environment in which people can develop their full potential and lead productive
lives in accordance with their needs and interests. The major concerns in the
developing countries are health, poverty and starvation. It is anticipated that
Biotechnology would be a boon to solve such problems and several other problems
to come in future. In agriculture, it is predicted that the “evergreen
revolution” will be due to biotechnological innovations.
The department of Biotechnology at SBK Women’s University was established in Nov 2009 with the degree
program of B.S in Biotechnology, under Vice Chancellor Madam Sultana Baloch, and
registrar Madam Jamila Qazi. Department is branch of “faculty of life sciences”,
headed by Dean Prof. Dr. Rukhsana Jabeen and Head of the department Miss Sadia
Javaid. Since then it is successfully expanding with considerable intake of
students in the progressing semesters. The Faculty is heavily involved in
teaching degree programs of the Department of Biotechnology and is keen for
initiating and establishing collaborative projects with industry and other
academic institutions. The courses taught at the Faculty are designed by Higher
