MADURAI KAMARAJ UNIVERSITY
Ph.D. Programme in Genomics (Offered by School of Biological Sciences, Madurai Kamaraj University)
Genomics is an important discipline in Biological, Biomedical, Industrial and Agricultural sciences and provides the global information on genetic factors and the genomic processes which in turn are related to the phenotype of organisms.
Genomics also involves a series of unbiased assays and approaches to understand the complexity and diversity of genomes. Genomic approaches provide solutions in biomedical research by creating possibilities to new therapies for genetic and pathogen borne diseases. Because of its immediate and considerable impact on global health, there is a demand for highly qualified and trained manpower in the field of genomics. Hence, a Ph. D. Programme in Genomics has been initiated in School of Biological Sciences, Madurai Kamaraj University with the support of Department of Biotechnology, New Delhi through the Interdisciplinary Life Science Programme for Advanced Research and Education (DBT -MKU-IPLS). The faculty and research facilities available in the School of Biological Sciences can be accessed at the Websites - www.mkuniversity.org; www.dbtiplsmku.org and www.genomicsmku.org
