The Institute of Life Sciences (ILS) at Gulab Devi Educational Complex (GDEC) was established in 2016, with a goal to integrate education, research, and innovation in the fields of life sciences. The institute offers BS degree programs in three core disciplines; Biochemistry, Biotechnology, and Microbiology. These programs provide students with the flexibility to tailor their education according to their evolving skills and interests. In essence, the Institute provides a strong foundation in the life sciences while fostering interdisciplinary thinking and a robust quantitative framework for academic development and advanced research. Students learn from experienced faculty and researchers who offer mentorship and guidance in answering complex scientific questions to address real-world biological problems. With a curriculum grounded in cutting-edge education, practical training, and a strong emphasis on quantitative and analytical skills, students are well-prepared to thrive in academia, research, industry, healthcare, and emerging bioscience fields. Ultimately, the Institute serves as a dynamic hub for scientific inquiry, where traditional boundaries between disciplines are actively bridged.
To make the Department a Center of Excellence in the field of Biochemistry, that fosters scientific ideas and skills, to enhance the quality of life with a better education and cutting-edge research.
To promote a creative and innovative study environment for the intellectual and career development of our students so that they become responsible contributor of the society. To enhance the understanding of human health by focusing on the scientific disciplines such as Human Biochemistry, Medical Biochemistry and Biotechnology. The program will benefit the society overall by adding the highly skilled scientific workforce, particularly in the biomedical research, academia, industry and research laboratories across the country and the globe.
