Why Biosciences?

India is currently among the top 12 global biotechnology destinations and ranks third in the Asia Pacific region. With a market size of $11.6 billion in 2017, it aspires to reach $100 billion by 2025. This can be realised through enabling government policies, and public and private capital. However, there exist major gaps – while the country has the second highest number of FDA-approved manufacturing plants, India still commands only a meagre two per cent of the global biotechnology business. This is not surprising since the highest growth is in new ‘sunrise’ sectors propelled by new knowledge and technologies, where India lags.

The Trivedi School of Biosciences, along with other Ashokan initiatives including the Ashoka Innovation Centre (AIC), is intended to be an enabler in such sunrise sectors for the regional and national knowledge ecosystems.

To bring together bioscience, other natural sciences, computational science and social sciences, with a mission to enable sunrise sectors in biotechnology and health research. Following the Ashokan principles of learning across disciplinary boundaries to bring meaningful impact and change, we are engaged in a holistic study of how various components of living systems function, interact, and evolve to shape the health of individuals and ecosystems.

The School of Biosciences provides a stimulating and collaborative environment for foundational and multidisciplinary education and research. Intellectual, personal, and professional growth is emphasized, with opportunities to innovate in education, undertake research at different scales of biological organization, as well as to take up local and global challenges via applied research.
