Transcription

1 Prospectus Introduction The st century is envisioned as an era of Biotechnology and Applied Microbiology. Remarkable achievements have been made in the field of science, in general and life sciences in particular, during recent decades. The impact of these developments on improving the quality of life is obvious. Consumption of biotech products including conventional biotechnology and recombinant DNA products has exceeded Rs. 9. billion in 006 and reached more than Rs billion in 009. The main contributors are the fermentation-based products e.g. Vaccines, Biopolymers, Antibiotics, Alcohol, Organic Acids, Enzymes, Amino Acids, Baker's yeast, etc. In near future, fermentation based products and services would remain important contributors to biotech product scenario. Realizing the immense economic potential, Institute of Industrial Biotechnology (IIB) was set up in 005 at GC University Lahore by a grant of Rs Million from Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan. IIB is a vibrant and ambitious institute. The Institute has gained a very good repute in the University and the society due to its strong commitment to excellence both in research and teaching during the last ten years. The aim of IIB is to develop indigenous manpower experts in Microbiology and Biotechnology. This has increased employment opportunities for qualified students both in industrial research and development markets. The manpower will be highly instrumental in developing in-house technologies for the production of various industrial products at National and International level. The Institute has adopted an integrated approach embracing the view that tomorrow's breakthroughs are likely to occur at the interface of traditional and advanced biological subdivisions. The aim is well served by the amalgamation of all the related disciplines of Microbiology and Biotechnology. The learning process at IIB comprises of a combination of lectures (theory & practical), seminars/presentations, research projects, internships in various industries, industrial study tours, self directed readings and independent studies. The Mission statement of IIB is the: Untiring efforts for the development of human resources and sustainable bioprocesses in the integrated fields of Microbiology and Biotechnology
