Facility
BSL3- FACILITY
The Department of Biological Sciences is equipped with a state-of-the-art functional Biosafety Level-3 (BSL-3) laboratory facility that enables advanced research involving high-risk and airborne infectious agents. The facility is designed in accordance with national and international biosafety guidelines and is supported by strict containment measures, controlled access, specialized ventilation systems, and appropriate personal protective equipment. This infrastructure provides a safe and secure environment for cutting-edge research, training, and translational studies in infectious diseases and related areas.
