The academic programs include Master of Technology (M.Tech) and Master of Science (M.Sc.) programs in Molecular Medicine, Nanobiotechnology and Nanoelectronics and Nanoengineering, and Bachelor of Science Honors (B.Sc Hons.) with Research in Molecular Medicine.
Education must attempt to nurture the holistic development of human beings.
Amrita School of Nanosciences & Molecular Medicine became so prolific in the last ten years, reaching out to many institutions here in India and abroad with its cutting-edge research and publications, that we felt it was about time we began to share news about us with the national and international community about our research, our academics, the achievements of our students and faculty and the products that are germinating in our labs. Science is truly global today and sharing is important to build collaborations and benefit from each other. In this spirit we are starting our first newsletter as we near the end of 2016, a year where our Centre has received much impetus from the Government of India, and the year of our tenth anniversary!
