Introduction
TOP
The 21 century is envisioned as an era of Biotechnology
and Applied Microbiology. Remarkable achievements have been made in the
field of science, in general and life sciences in particular, during
recent decades. The impact of these developments on improving the
quality of life is obvious. Consumption of Biotech products including
conventional biotechnology and recombinant DNA products has exceeded Rs.
9.2 billion in 2006 and reached more than Rs. 17.68 billion in 2009. The
main contributors are the fermentation-based products e.g. Vaccines,
Biopolymers, Antibiotics, Alcohol, Organic Acids, Enzymes, Amino Acids,
Baker's yeast, etc. In near future, fermentation based products and
services would remain important contributors to biotech product
scenario.
Realizing the immense economic potential, Institute of
Industrial Biotechnology (IIB) was set up in 2005 at GC University
Lahore under a grant of Rs. 48.087 Millions from Higher Education
Commission (HEC) of Pakistan. IIB is a vibrant and ambitious institute
which has gained a good repute in the University and the society due to
its strong commitment to excellence both in research and teaching during
the last five years.
The aim of IIB is to develop indigenous experts in
Microbiology and Biotechnology. This will increase employment
opportunities for qualified students both in industrial research and
development markets. The manpower will be highly instrumental in
developing in-house technologies for the production of various
industrial products at National and International level. The Institute
has adopted an integrated approach embracing the view that tomorrow's
breakthroughs are likely to occur at the interface of traditional and
advanced biological subdivisions. The aim is well served by the
amalgamation of all the related disciplines of Microbiology and
Biotechnology. The learning process at IIB comprises of a combination of
lectures (theory & practical), seminars / presentations, research
projects, internships in various industries, industrial study tours,
self directed readings and independent studies.
Mission Statement
The Mission statement of IIB is the: “Untiring efforts
for the development of human resources and sustainable bioprocesses in
the integrated fields of Microbiology and Biotechnology.”
Programme
Aim

Future plans
Microbiology and Biotechnology are rapidly developing
fields of science, covering a wide range of industrial processes.
Successful graduates from the institute have career opportunities in a
number of multinational and national industries. In addition, they also
have employment opportunities both in teaching and research in different
universities and research organizations of national and international
fame. One of the main interests of the institute is microbial technology
related to the sustainable development of human society, especially on
the engineering of microbial strains with the diverse physiological
functions using gene engineering, protein engineering, metabolic
engineering and other advanced technological techniques. The development
of new processes and approaches for microbial products by studying
metabolic activities of the newly reconstructed strains is also a main
research field. The research aims at the microbial conversion of
agricultural and industrial waste into fuel, feed, and chemicals; the
microbiology studies on resources exploration and environmental
improvement; development of new fermentation technology and bioproducts.
