The field of Biomedical Sciences encompasses both biology & medicine to solve human health issues. PAF-IAST, Haripur is the first institute in KP to establish Department of Biomedical Sciences. The teaching and research at Department focus on various aspects of medical sciences, ranging from fundamental understanding of molecular basis of cells & their interactions, to highly advanced area of knowledge related to comprehension of human pathologies. Our institute is first in the country to offer a dual degree in the field of biomedical sciences in collaboration with Austrian Institutions. Foremost, the Department aims to deliver students with an exceptional and individualized educational experience to enable them to skillfully solve biomedical science related problems. This is the only Biomedical Science Department of the country that will have a close collaboration with medical research Institutions and Industries. Further, the teaching methods adopted by the faculty will ensure enhanced learning, as the approach will solely be centered on students and will be practical. Our graduates are expected to make valuable contributions to the fields of biology and medicine through new discoveries and advancements in diagnosis and therapeutics of human diseases. These graduates will also contribute to bring improvements in emerging biomedical technologies such as medical imaging, wearable devices, assistive technologies, cell and tissue engineering, molecular diagnostics, personalized medicine, regenerative and nanomedicines, stem cells and cell reprogramming.
A biomedical scientist has a huge horizon of careers after completion of a Bachelor of Science degree in biomedical science. Few to name are Biomedical Scientist, Drug Developer, Researcher, Professor, Nanotechnologist, Neuroscientist, Cytologist, Pathologist, Bioentrepreneur, Geneticist, Gerontologist, Molecular Biologist, Immunologist, Laboratory Technician, Crime Scene Investigator, Community Health Educator, Dietician, Endocrinologist, Biotechnician, Medical Technology Developer, Naturopath, Toxicologist, Parasitologist, Medical Sales Representative, and Medical Science Liaison.
