Master of Business Administration in Biotechnology

at D Y Patil University India

Biotech education is the key to sustainable development and the conservation of planet Earth. Be it creation of artificial life, stem cell research or gene mapping, biotechnology and bioinformatics have revolutionized our lives. Spectacular discoveries and advancements in biotechnology have led to the development of any array of products in the area of healthcare, agriculture and environment.

Objectives 

• To integrate the knowledge of biology for developing technologies for food, pharma and healthcare industries.
• To impart knowledge for understanding of legal issues affecting biotechnology industries.
• To enhance expertise in tools and techniques in various fields of biotechnology.

Food is one of the basic necessities for survival. Providing food security to the teeming millions is a day–to–day challenge that developing countries are facing today. The study and application of food science and technology principles would enable us to combat such difficult situations. In an era of increasing population, decreasing energy sources and increasing poverty, it is but imperative that appropriate technology, with an aim towards providing food security be developed. Applications in the realm of food production, processing and preservation could help transform the economic and cultural structure of developing nations across the globe.

Objective

• Acquaint the student with the basic scientific understanding of foods and food processing as determined through biochemistry, chemistry, microbiology, physics, and other sciences.
• Provide an insight into the process of translating scientific discovery into innovative food processing technologies.
• Food Science and Technology is the key to the conversion of raw agricultural materials into a wide variety of properly processed and preserved foods, thus contributing to the well-being, economy, standard of living, and progress of humanity.
• Demonstrate process, equipment and packages for food industry.
• Train manpower in Food Science, Food technology, Nutrition, Engineering, Marketing, Business Management and Product Development to meet demand of rapidly increasing food based industries.

The Masters in Urban Design program offers students to shift and enhance their previously set paradigm to the macro scale of perceiving the underlined architectural urban scenarios. It is a course of two years with each year further subdivided into two semesters. This course addresses the realm of the urbane by contextualising the different practices and cultures of the cities.
The course offers thorough understanding of planning objectives, socio-cultural backgrounds, heritage and historical values, administrative structures, governance and policies, eco-sensitive and sustainability approaches etc. thus, giving it a multifaceted approach.

The course gives a firsthand experience to the students to be working along with planning authorities, various government organisations, non governing organisations, private practitioners, communities, citizen groups etc. It also helps students derive a strong research base in the due course of two years.

This is a three year post-graduate program recognised by the Medical Council of India. The program entails rotational postings in the departments of Paediatrics and General Medicine, Psychiatry and Anaesthesia. The student is involved in managing cases under expert supervision in the Paediatric Out Patient Department, Vaccination Out Patient Department, wards, Casualty, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Labour Ward.

This experience is supplemented by Speciality experience gained in Paediatric Endocrinology, Paediatric Cardiology, Paediatric Neurology, Paediatric Surgery and Neonatology besides foetal medicine. Skills training in the neonate and paediatric patient is achieved with the aid of our state of art Simulation Laboratory equipped with neonate and paediatric mannequins.

Practical training is complemented with a rigorous lecture, seminar , journal club and seminar schedule to ensure a sound theoretical base to the student. The course will enable the student to develop exceptional clinical and practical skills. The student is trained to practice Paediatrics and all its sub-specialities with a holistic and empathetic approach.

Bioinformatics is a scientific discipline that deals with the retrieval, storage, processing, analysis, and management of biological information through computational techniques. It uses mathematics, biology, and information technology to understand the biological importance of an extensive variety of data. Bioinformatics technologies are used in various pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors. It is majorly used in the medical sector, driven by the increasing use of bioinformatics for the drug discovery and development process. 

MBA in Systems Management is a 2-year postgraduate course that deals with software and information technology problems and administrative issues. The main aim of the MBA in Systems Management course is to teach students different subjects that include a detailed review of general management topics and the introduction of technology into business processes. MBA in Systems Management graduates have a wide range of job opportunities in the field of management.

This course is common to all the students.
