Preface

The Department of Environmental Biotechnology was established in 2002 and

presently seven faculty members are serving in the department. During this period, the

department has attained national level recognition by attracting extramural research

funding from various funding agencies such as DST-FIST (level I twice), UGC-

Innovative programme (Environmental Genomics), UGC-non SAP, UGC-SAP etc.

Also the faculty members are undertaking sponsored research projects from national

and international funding agencies. The Department also harbours Centre for Climate

Change Research (CCCR) to carryout academic and R&D activities on climate issues.

Nowadays, the world has numerous environmental issues to be addressed.

Keeping this in mindthe research groups of the Department concentrates on the

emerging issues which is of national and international significance.

At present the department consists of eight research groups that focuses on

Ecotoxicogenomics

Insect Pest Management

Biospatial Technology and Climate Change studies

Bioremediation and Nanobiotechnology

Plant Metabolomics

Chemical Ecology

Waste Water and Solid Waste Management

Biomaterials

The department offers M.Sc., in Environmental Science and Technology, M.Sc.,

in Environmental Biotechnology, M.Phil., (Environmental Biotechnology) and Ph.D.,

(Environmental Biotechnology and Environmental Science) programmes.The Post

Graduate programmes have been designed to cater the manpower for environmental

sustenance and management. The curriculum includes the application of advanced

techniques including molecular tools to foster the increasing demands to restore the

environment from the anthropogenic pressure on it. The courses were designed on the

basis of UGC/CSIR-NET and SLET syllabi with special emphasis on various

problems related to the environment. The broad areas covered in the curriculum

include Ecology, Biodiversity and Conservation, Environmental Microbiology,

Environmental Chemistry, Solid waste management, Air, Water and Soil Pollution and

Management, Environmental Impact Assessment, ClimateChange etc. Laboratory

training is intensely given for handling of advanced analytical instruments like AAS,

HPLC (Analytical and Semi-Preparative), GC-MS, PCR, 2-D gel electrophoresis,

Ultracentrifuge, Continuous air quality monitoring system, etc. The post graduates and

the research scholars have been absorbed in various fields including Environmental

consultancy, teaching, research etc.

CENTRE FOR CLIMATE CHANGE RESEARCH (CCCR)

About the Centre

Centre was established on 7th

March, 2017 within the Department of Environmental Biotechnology,

School of Environmental Science, Bharathidasan University to enhance the knowledge about climate

change and its impact among the public to minimize the issues.

About Climate Change

Increasing trend in population pressure, unplanned urban and industrial developments, poor land use

practices or loss of biodiversity leads to release of more green house gases in the atmosphere results

environmental changes cause climate change. It indicates raising atmospheric temperature, extreme

weather patterns such as flood, drought, hurricanes, etc., throughout the world. Climate change

impact has severe damages on bioresources especially human beings are suffered by climate

variables such as emergence and re-emergence of vector borne diseases, deficiency quality in air,

water and food products, etc. In view of the above facts, the centre has established to carryout

research programmes and creates awareness among the public about current issues with the

application of advanced technologies to provide scientific solution, to mitigate the issues and develop

adaptation techniques for the reduction of level of impact on biological system.

Main Objectives

To carry out an intensive, inter-disciplinary research on climate change and its impact on natural

resources with special focus on bioresources. To create awareness among public about climate

change related issues and solutions.

Goals

To establishment of knowledge centre to provide scientific research inputs towards climate

change adaptation and mitigation research.

To apply for funding on climate change research from different national and international

agencies.

To meet out the national and international requirements towards climate change related issues.

Strengthening of laboratory facility, faculty and research scientist to provide quality outputs to

the user agencies.

Development of Co-ordination among experts from multidisciplinary subjects available with

in school and other related Departments within the University and outside towards climate

change issues.
