Most faculty members at TSBS hold funded research projects, with research and consultancy spanning immunology, genomics, environmental biotechnology, plant biotechnology and bioinformatics.
Active research domains
- Immunology — infection biology, apoptosis-driven infection and cell biology.
- Genomics — molecular genetics and genomic analysis.
- Environmental biotechnology — bioremediation, biofuel and bioplastic research.
- Plant biotechnology — plant genetic engineering, metabolomics and volatolomics.
- Bioinformatics — computational analysis supporting the wet-lab programme.
Faculty publish in reputed SCI and SCI-E indexed journals. Research proposals are submitted to national funding agencies including DBT (Department of Biotechnology) and DST (Department of Science & Technology).
Planned growth
Under the Institutional Development Plan, the research portfolio scales from an initial submission of 5–10 research proposals in 2025–26 toward a sustained programme of funded, industry-linked and internationally collaborative projects by 2030.
5–10Research proposals submitted (2025–26)
