B. Sc. Molecular Medicine is a program offered by the Amrita Center for Nanosciences and Molecular Medicine, Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Kochi.
B.Sc. Hons. (with Research) in Molecular Medicine is designed to provide a comprehensive and thorough understanding about the basic principles that constitute the research and development that make up the modern medicine. This would include both theoretical and practical training using state-of-the-art technology that is involved in molecular basis of homeostasis and diseases. One of the unique strengths of this course is its interdisciplinary approach whereby different areas of medical sciences were harnessed towards realization into development of therapeutics and diagnostics. The honors program provides a unique opportunity for the young inquisitive minds to ponder over the different aspects of medical sciences they learned in theory by performing hands on research. This is performed at our state-of the-art facility by experienced internationally trained faculty to equip them to address different aspects of medical sciences. ASNSMM was the first academic institution to offer an undergraduate program (B.Sc. Honors) in Molecular Medicine in India.
The unique aspect of the Honors program is that the students get the opportunity to gain substantial research experience in their fourth honors year. In addition, they will take some cutting-edge specialized courses in the honors year. Secondly, the students are given the opportunity to design their own program with a significant number of elective courses that allow them to tailor the program as per their interest while taking some mandatory core courses which are essential to their basic understanding and specialization.
A student graduating from the 4-year BSc honors program will qualify to be admitted to the 5-year PhD program in Molecular Medicine with all exit options kept open. The 5-year Ph.D will train the student in all the state-of-the-art technologies and research methodologies in the field as well as the opportunity to interact with clinical and industrial partners and international groups. Scholarships will be available for the Ph.D program for students above 8.5 CGPA, as part of this program. A trending academic discipline with huge scope in both industries and academia, this stream has the potential to change the world and offer a plethora of career opportunities.
