Research is an integral part of IAMR. IAMR has produced number of M.Phil. students in various disciplines of Biotechnology and Microbiology. This year also four students from other colleges have registered at IAMR for M.Phil. degrees.

We have well equipped labs for tissue culture, microbial fermentation and molecular biology. The labs are equipped with all modern equipments including UV Spectrophotometer, PCR machine, horizontal and vertical electrophoretic chambers, advanced incubators, laminar hoods and all other necessary instruments including pH meters, microscopes, deep freezers etc.

Students pursuing graduation and post graduation in Biotechnology and Microbiology are trained with various techniques in recombinant DNA technology, fermentation technology, tissue culture techniques.

Diabetes and Obesity lab has been under development in guidance of Dr. Manju Pathak, Dean Life Sciences and Head R&D, IAMR, and expert in Biotechnology and Nutrition.

The area of proposed research is:

1.   1. Role of plant phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase in Diabetes and Cancer.

      2. Evaluation of germinated seeds as blood sugar regulators.

      3. Development of oral Insulin.

      4. Development of interleukin 6 (IL-6) inhibitor.

PI3Kinase is an important enzyme in Insulin signaling pathway. This enzyme is down regulated in diabetes patients. Our aim is to evaluate the role of plant PI3Kinase in overcoming the down regulation of PI3Kinase.

Our lab is also focusing on development of Oral Insulin. Insulin is synthesized in some seeds during germination. We are focusing on development of plant insulin's as an oral insulin's.

M. Phil. Research Project Completed

Antimicrobial activity of some species against some fungal and bacterial strains.

M. Phil. Research Project Ongoing

1. In-viro and In-vitro valuation of PGRP. (Plant Growth Promoting Rhirobacteria)

2. 2. Evaluation of biocontrol efficacy of PGRP against phytopathogens
