Department of Zoology

       The Department of Zoology, under the School of Biological Sciences, was established in 2010 at Riverside Transit Campus, Padannakad to promote education and research in the domain of Animal Science with limited faculty and students. The department has grown into an established system with six permanent faculty having vast experience and expertise in different fields of biological sciences. The department offers M.Sc. and Ph.D. in zoology (with annual intake of 30 students) with strong curriculum designed to provide the experience, skills and exposure in areas which range from basic conceptual framework to the most advanced areas of biological sciences. Deep engagement in research by faculty in the areas of entomology, aquatic pathobiology, herpetology, toxicology, immunology, physiology, cell and developmental biology, and endocrinology is a core strength of the department. Convergence of the expertise and research strengths of the faculty ensures that the academic programmes provide the students and researchers with profound insights and adequate skills, besides inculcating a culture of innovation and inclusive development

Mission:

• To produce locally relevant and globally competitive human resources in the area of biological sciences.

• To engage in inter-disciplinary research and innovative educational practices which enable in fostering excellence in teaching and learning

• To undertake basic and applied research to address compelling scientific challenges in zoological sciences

Vision:

• To become a centre of academic and research excellence imparting deeper insights, inculcating innovations, developing competence to appreciate, assimilate and nurture the core essence of the biological world

Thematic area

• Approaches/strategies to/for the sustainable utilization and conservation of terrestrial and aquatic biological resources

Thematic area

• Neurobiology, neuro-protective strategies, neurodegenerative diseases, natural peptides and toxicology

• Plant-animal interaction, biodiversity & land-use policy

• Insect systematics, ecology, behaviour, conservation, and pest management

• Molecular endocrinology and metabolism
