Research and Extension activities

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), is characterized by group of inflammatory conditions of colon and intestine.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) & Crohn’s disease

IBD ?

Ulcerative colitis ? Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic disease characterized

by mucosal and submucosal inflammation limited the colon (large intestine) with cryptitis

Patients with UC are at higher risk of colorectal carcinoma (Khor et al,2011)

Introduction

Causes of UC Genetic abnormalities - Overstimulation or inadequate regulation of mucosal immune system Altered colonic microflora - Inappropriate immune response to the host microorganisms Environmental factors - dietary substances may encourage modification of intestinal bacterial profile Psychological stress – stress factor may also encourage induction of UC

Present status of Knowledge Research

EXTENSION ACTIVITIES: -• Lecture series are organized every year from 2013 onwards. It is organized

jointly by all Life science departments.• Organized the National Science Day during 2013 and 2014.

coaching to attend competitive exams like JAM-2015, JNU entrance exam, University entrance exams.• One student named Nandini B. C. qualified JAM-2015 in

Biotechnology with a rank 604 and selected for post graduate course at IIT, Roorkee, Uttar Pradesh.

STUDENTS PROGRESSION• 2010-13 batch: 80% students joined M. Sc Biotechnology

and 10% M.Sc Biochemistry. Now placed in different pharmaceutical companies and institutions.

• 2012-15 batch: 70% students joined M. Sc Biotechnology.

PLANS OF Department FOR NEXT YEAR:-• To establish cell culture laboratory.• To fetch grants from UGC, DBT and VGST.• To increase the student strength and make them employable.• To organize a national level Conference.• To start skill development courses

Molecular diagnostics, Drug designing by Bioinformatics, protein purification techniques)

• to give hands on training on handling of instruments.
