Library

The Institute has an extensive library covering the large number of topics that are required by a biotechnologist like Quantum Chemistry, Statistical Thermodynamics, Genetics, Molecular Biology, Higher Mathematics among many others. The students also have access to leading international scientific jornals like Nature, Science, Journal of Molecualr Biology This treasure trove of knowledge is supplemented by access to libraries in and around the Pune University, including national institutes like National Chemical Laboratory (NCL) and National Centre for Cell Sciences (NCCS).
