The field of Biomedical Sciences encompasses both biology and medicine to solve human health issues. PAF IAST, Haripur is the first institute in KP to establish the Department of Biomedical Sciences, with learning and research focus on various aspects of medical sciences, ranging from a fundamental understanding of the molecular basis of the cell and their interactions to highly advanced areas of knowledge related to the understanding of human pathologies. It is the first of its kind department in the country to offer a dual degree in the field of biomedical sciences in collaboration with Austrian Institutions. Most importantly, the department is chiefly committed to producing graduates with exceptional and individualized educational experience, amply skilled to solve problems related to biomedical science. It is uniquely the only Biomedical Science Department in the country with plans for close collaboration with medical research institutions and industries. The student-centered practical-based teaching methodology to be followed will ensure enhanced learning. We aim to field in the service of society graduates of high merit and capability with the capacity and passion to make new discoveries and advancements in the diagnosis and therapeutics of human diseases. We also expect our graduates to bring about 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, and more.
A biomedical scientist has multifarious career paths after completion of Bachelor of Science in biomedical science: 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 person and so on.
