School of Biotechnology at KIIT (KSBT) was established in 2007 with highlevel intellectual inputs from Prof. Richard R Ernst (Nobel Laureate, 1991), who laid the Foundation stone and Prof. Rolf M Zinkernagel (Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine, 1996), who inaugurated the facility. Within a very short span of time, it has become a potential centre of excellence and relevance in the country. The School has come up with strong academics and research-based programs including high-level translational activities. By establishing strong collaboration with various national and international institutions (ETH Zurich, University of Lausanne, University, UCLA, Emory University, UC-Davis, London School of Hygiene, Karolinska Institute, Murdoch University, Meharry Medical College, University of Erlangen) it is marching towards excellence.
