Center For Industrial Biotechnology Research
Centre for Industrial Biotechnology Research (CIBR) in Sikha ‘O’ Anusandhan (Deemed to be university) will be a Research based innovation centre, aiming to boost the biotechnological research on industrial applications and bridging the skill gaps between Industry and Academia.
In today’s world where sustainability and environmental concerns are at the fore front, a ground breaking field known as white biotechnology or industrial biotechnology has emerged. White Biotechnology harnesses the power of living organisms, particularly microbes, to produce sustainable and ecological solution for a wide range of industries. "Industrial biotechnology, integrated into our daily lives from clothing to fuel, represents a vital discipline paving the way for a sustainable and eco-friendly chemical manufacturing industry. The Centre for Industrial Biotechnology Research (CIBR) is at the forefront of this evolution, offering research programmes coupled with hands-on experience in focused research areas such as agriculture, industrial chemicals, biofuels, healthcare, etc. Led by expert faculty, CIBR aims to shape the next generation of industrial biotechnology professionals, driving innovation in a rapidly growing industry that generated over $150 billion revenues last year in India. Through our research program, we aspire to graduate students from diverse backgrounds, inviting you to join us in discovering and developing new applications for a future-driven world."
