This program is designed to produce diversified concepts of Bioinformatics. The curriculum is a well thought out mixture of essential courses from biological sciences, computer sciences and mathematics. Keeping in view the modern requirements, the main focus is not only on biological research, a thorough understanding of divisive concepts such as database, programming and algorithms are also developed. Furthermore, to acquire hands on experience, most of the Bioinformatics courses are supported by projects and lab work.

In the final stages of their degree students are also placed in relevant industry as internees to further acquire real life problem-solving skills and gain exposure to the latest technologies in applications. The students are also required to complete a final year project based on either research or industrial problem. The project is expected to have some value to the organization or industry.

A number of general courses in the area of humanities, social sciences, religion and ethics, health & physical education, languages and communication skills are made compulsory for studying with objectives to provide students with a social, psychological and religious understanding thereby ensuring a balanced personality. The overall program provides a highly conducive environment and an excitement driven approach that encourages creativity to accomplish results.

Microbiology is the study of microscopic organisms such as viruses, bacteria, algae, fungi, slime molds and protozoa. As the methods exploited to study and manipulate these organisms are different from the techniques used to study other domains of life, therefore, our BS Microbiology program is focused on biological investigations of microbes. Microbiologists can pursue their careers in various fields such as agriculture, food, environment, industrial microbiology, public health, pharmaceuticals, resource management, and Academia.

Biotechnology is the use of living organisms to create new products and processes. This field is an application of scientific and engineering principles to process materials by the use of biological agents to deliver goods and services. It is an applied science and has great scope in medical, agricultural, food and pharmaceutical sciences. Our BS Biotechnology curriculum has been designed to produce graduates with updated and practical knowledge of this multidisciplinary and emerging field.

Bioinformatics is a newly emerging field worldwide and more so in Pakistan. There is a growing scope for bioinformatics trained personnel in Pakistan in public sector as Higher Education Commission of Pakistan has declared it as a mandatory part of curriculum in all degree programs of biology. Therefore to cater the people from disciplines to bioinformatics, the course content of MS Bioinformatics program depends on the Bachelor’s degree which the student had earned. For instance, with a Bachelor in computer science, the candidate will have to study additional courses from the discipline of biological science to complement deficiencies in this area. Similarly, if the basic degree of candidate is in biological sciences then to complement the requirements, candidate will study more courses from the discipline of computer science, statistics and mathematics. Course advisors are assigned to help the candidate to make an appropriate choice amongst the offered courses to cover the deficiency the latest degree conferred. MS in Bioinformatics is a 2 years program comprising 4 semesters: one year for course work and one year for research/ Course work. The course work covers various areas from disciplines of Biological Sciences, Computer Sciences and Mathematics. In addition to core courses, students can choose from a number of elective courses in bioinformatics, computer sciences and biosciences.
