The Department of Biomedical Sciences, a luminary beacon of academic excellence, was inaugurated under the umbrella of the Faculty of Biomedical Sciences and Engineering in 2020 as an integral part of the prestigious Institute, PAF-IAST. With a relentless pursuit of groundbreaking knowledge, we offer elite undergraduate and postgraduate programs, that cultivate innovative research, foster entrepreneurial acumen, and empower students with unparalleled theoretical and practical prowess. The current state-of-the art laboratories, bolstered by global collaborations with renowned institutions (Austria, China, and UK), Clinical laboratories, hospitals, and industries, provide an exhilarating atmosphere for intellectual exploration and skill development. Our esteemed faculty and ambitious students synergistically strive to unveil novel insights, revolutionizing the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases across various domains.
The Human Anatomy, Physiology and Embryology Laboratory at PAF-IAST will equip the undergraduate students to the fundamental practical aspects of human anatomy, physiology, and Embryology. The Human Anatomy, Physiology, Embryology Laboratory will complement the lecture course and aims to provide students with hands-on access to practical and advanced techniques in human anatomical, physiological and embryological analyses.
Biomaterials and tissue engineering lab will introduce students to the cutting-edge technologies of cell culture, tissue engineering and artificial organ technology. The student will acquire experience on conventional (2D) and 3D mammalian cell culture. The student will also be trained on the creation of artificial tissue and organs using modern technologies such as 3D bioprinting, biofabrication and organ on CHIP. The students will also learn the latest techniques used in biomedical nanotechnology.
Biochemistry and molecular biology lab will give insight of the experiments in biochemistry, molecular biology, chemistry, genetics, immunology, microbiology, neurochemistry. The students will acquire extensive experience working with biomolecules in the laboratory. This provides students the skills needed for future research participation at the undergraduate and graduate level and for jobs in the biotechnological and pharmaceutical industries. The students will get hands on experience on purification and characterization of biomolecules including carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins.
The Pathology and Hematology Laboratory at PAF-IAST will equip the undergraduate students to the fundamental practical aspects where clinical pathology tests are carried out on clinical specimens to obtain information about the health of a patient to aid in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
The Genomics lab established at PAF-IAST will be a hub for conducting research in oncology, genetic disease testing, non-invasive prenatal testing, pharmacogenetics and more.
Histopathology is the science of visualizing pathological features of tissue with the help of various tissue processing, staining and microscopic techniques. All complex living beings are composed of more than one cell-type, together making a complex environment of various cell types talking and interacting with each other.
Biomedical Sciences degree explores the science of the human body and the causes of diseases that affect mankind. This program prepares you for a broad range of careers in science relating to medicine including biomedical scientist, clinical scientist, and forensic scientist.
