CENTRE FOR ADVANCED BIOINSTRUMENTATION AND BIOANALYSIS (CABB)

CABB: Centre for Advanced bioresearch and Bioanalysis was inaugurated by Dr. Devaraj, Chairman, UGC on 8.3.15. It was initiated with a moto as:

  • To promote research and bioinstrumentation skills among the students of the School of Biological Sciences.
  • To help research scholars and students from other colleges and universities to pursue their project work and be acquainted with advanced and latest bioinstrumentation facility available at our College.
  • To promote admission to the School of Biological Sciences by publicizing the  state of the art lab facility, infrastructure, green and eco friendly campus of our college.
  • To generate fund from utilization of instrumentation facility at the school of Biological sciences.
