Department of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology is one of the leading departments in the School of Life Sciences, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST), Sylhet, Bangladesh. SUST offers PhD, MS, MSc, MPhil and BSc degrees in Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology. The research intensive department offers extensive opportunity of research in the fields of plant biotechnology, animal biotechnology, microbial biotechnology, fermentation technology, industrial biotechnology, medical biotechnology, fisheries biotechnology, genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics.
About the Department[edit]
To face the 21st century's challenges, two departments, namely the department of Biotechnology and the department of Genetics, started their journey on 1st December 2004. A few years later, in 2009, the department of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology was established by two mother departments' affixation.[1] The academic program at the department of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology brings a unique combination of skills and a wide range of scientific disciplines together. It maximizes the benefit of both teaching and learning, and research. The initial journey of the two departments were started on the 4th floor of the Dr. Muhammad Shahidullah Building and in 2010, the department moved to its own home on the 1st floor of the Academic Building E, Shahjalal University Avenue.The veteran faculty members' specialization spans a broad range of basic sciences, from microbiology, biochemistry, nematology, medical genetics, agricultural biotechnology, animal biotechnology, fisheries biotechnology, environmental biotechnology, medical biotechnology, virology, molecular breeding, nanotechnology, bioinformatics, and so on. The department currently consists of 26 faculty members, 150 undergraduate and 30 graduate students. Over 350 students received their graduation from GEB-SUST till 2020.
Mission and Vision[edit]
The department of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology is devoted to advance knowledge and provide novel perspectives in genetics and biotechnology for the betterment of Sylhet division, as well as the whole nation and the mankind. The mission and vision of the department of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology's program is to excel in innovative teaching-learning and leveraging research technology to meet the challenges of national and global interest through:
- Providing a well-defined and updated curriculum embracing diverse branches of biotechnology
- Disseminating knowledge for facilitating students to obtain technoscientific skills and competence for contributing to a wide array of career pursuits
- Promoting state-of-the-art infrastructure with advanced research facilities to pursue research in cutting-edge fields of biotechnology
- Supporting every student become technologically competent by providing them hands-on training to heighten their expertise to find green methods to answer biotechnology-related problems
