Laboratories

1. Plant Biotechnology

1. Plant Tissue culture
2. Stress related studies
3. Phyotochemicals

Due to changes in environments conditions plant &amp; are exposed to stresses like drought, heat, salt and heavy metals which is manifested in enzyme profile & metabolites. Screening the different tolerant plants on the basis of enzymes has been undertaken. Photochemical like flavonoid, alkaloid, anthocyanin etc. exhibit antioxidative activity. Search for such antioxidative phytochemical as a step for chemopreventive agents to combat cancer has been initiated. Besides, other enzymes utilized in pharmaceutical industry are also characterized. Micropropagation of elite varieties of commercial crop for cultivation in Meerut region which can benefit farmers is going on. Efforts are going on for biopesticides which are ecofriendly and user friendly for farmers. Molecular markers are utilized for analysis of plant diversity.

2. Nanobiotechnology

1. Screening and characterization of novel microorganisms and plants for production of nanoparticles
2. Preparation of zinc and silver nanoparticles chemically or biologically
3. Characterization of chemically or biologically synthesized nanoparticles
4. Analysis of different types of nanoparticles by Spectroscopy, FTIR, SEM and TEM etc.
5. Check the antimicrobial activity of chemically or biologically synthesized nanoparticles against pathogens

Nanobiotechnology is the merger of biological research with various fields of nanotechnology. Concepts that are enhanced through nanobiology include: nanodevices, nanoparticles, and nanoscale phenomena that occurs within the discipline of nanotechnology. This technical approach to biology allows scientists to imagine and create systems that can be used for biological research. Biologically inspired nanotechnology uses biological systems as the inspirations for technologies not yet created. For example, DNA nanotechnology or cellular engineering would be classified as bionanotechnology because they involve working with biomolecules on the nanoscale. Conversely, many new medical technologies involving nanoparticles as delivery systems or as sensors would be examples of nanobiotechnology since they involve using nanotechnology to advance the goals of biology.

The most important objectives that are frequently found in nanobiology involve applying nanotools to relevant medical/biological problems and refining these applications. Developing new tools, such as peptoid nanosheets, for medical and biological purposes is another primary objective in nanotechnology. New nanotools are often made by refining the applications of the nanotools that are already being used. The imaging of native biomolecules, biological membranes, and tissues is also a major topic for the nanobiology researchers. Other topics concerning nanobiology include the use of cantilever array sensors and the application of nanophotonics for manipulating molecular processes in living cells.

Recently, the use of microorganisms to synthesize functional nanoparticles has been of great interest. Microorganisms can change the oxidation state of metals. These microbial processes have opened up new opportunities for us to explore novel applications, for example, the biosynthesis of metal nanomaterials. In contrast to chemical and physical methods, microbial processes for synthesizing nanomaterials can be achieved in aqueous phase under gentle and environmentally benign conditions. This approach has become an attractive focus in current green bionanotechnology research towards sustainable development.

3. Bioinformatics Laboratory

Bioinformatics (or computational biology) aims at solving biological problems using mathematical, statistical and computational techniques. Modern biological and medical research cannot be done without bioinformatics. Bioinformatics is a multidisciplinary field in which physical sciences, life sciences, computer science, and engineering are merged to solve both fundamental and applied problems in biology. You will learn the fundamentals of bioinformatics, which include sequence analysis, protein and RNA structural analysis, genomics, phylogenetics, analysis of high-throughput data, machine learning methods etc. Students with advanced bioinformatics skills are in high demand in both academia and industry because the new experimental methods produce very large amounts of data, which require computational analysis. Upon completion of this course, the students will achieve the following objectives:

1. Develop an understanding of the basic principles of molecular and cell biology.
2. Become familiar with existing tools and resources for computational analysis of biological data, including sequences, phylogenies, micro arrays, ontologies, and bio-molecular interactions. Develop an awareness of the computational problems that arise in the modeling and analysis of living systems.

Biosafety

Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBSC)

Guidelines for submitting application for clearance by the IBSC

It is mandatory to inform the IBSC and get its prior approval for undertaking any project in the institute involving rDNA technology, or any kind of genetic manipulation. IBSC reviews such projects on a regular basis and ensure the safety part of it. The evaluation report is sent to Review Committee on Genetic Manipulation (RCGM); Department of Biotechnology, (DBT), Government of India, New Delhi.

Step 1:

1. Submit a hard copy of the application to the office of the Member Secretary, Biotechnology Department. A soft copy of the application should also be submitted via email to anita.rawat@miet.ac.in
2. The application form can be downloaded from IBSC Protocol Form
3. Please note that the IBSC normally meets twice in a year (May and November), therefore the application should be submitted at least 30 days in advance (i.e., by April 10 for the May meeting, and by October 10 for the November meeting).
4. It is the duty of the primary investigator (PI) to inform IBSC about experiments involving recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology, genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or living modified organisms (LMOs) through the application as stated above. This should be done prior to submission of a grant application to a funding agency.
5. While preparing the application please note the following:
   • For experiments involving rDNA, the PI must ensure the biosafety level as well as the category that the experiments fall under the guidelines provided on page 187 in the following document Recombinant DNA Safety Guidelines 1990 of DBT.
   • The assignment of the risk category of any microorganism(s) being handled as part of the experimental protocol must be determined based on the information provided in the pages 208-220 of the relevant document Recombinant DNA Safety Guidelines 1990 of DBT.
   • Please go through the guidelines provided by DBT in the following document to understand the responsibilities of the PI DBT Guidelines and Handbook for Institutional Biosafety Committees(IBSCs) 2011.
6. The application will be evaluated by the committee (and subject expert if required) and the applicant may be asked to provide other documents and necessary information if required.

Step 2:

A meeting of IBSC will be scheduled and the date will be communicated to the applicant at least 20 days in advance. The applicant may be asked to present his/her proposal to the committee and a decision will be communicated to applicant within 10 days.

All applicants are advised to go through the  Indian Biosafety Rules & Regulations .
