“Department of Animal Biotechnology” addresses the questions of molecular mechanism/ pathogenesis/ host pathogen interactions of emerging and re-emerging pathogens  and non-infectious diseases using both wet laboratory and tools of computational biology/ bioinformatics (genomics, proteomics and evolutionary approaches).

Thrust area includes:

• Host pathogen interactions.
• Molecular characterization and diversity analysis of indigenous breeds of goat and pig. 
• Marker Vaccines for poultry

Future Perspective: 

• New generation Vaccines/Adjuvants
• Pen-side & Field based diagnostics
• Stem cell Bank : Regenerative therapy
• Characterization of genes associated with milk production, fertility & stress tolerance in dairy animals.
• Estimation of the molecular breeding values via genomic selection.
• Transcriptome profiling of the testicular tissue of buffaloes & crossbred bulls yielding freezable vis-à-vis non-freezable semen
• Identification of microRNAs associated with production, reproduction, disease resistance in livestock
• Pesticide vis-à-vis immune-modulations
