Agenda

Research Agenda

The research agenda of MPBS encompasses a diverse range of topics in the field of biomedical sciences. The agenda emphasizes the exploration of new frontiers in biomedical research, the development of innovative methodologies, and the application of findings to address pressing health challenges. Through this research agenda, MPBS aims to contribute to scientific advancements, drive innovation in healthcare, and improve the well-being of individuals and communities. It focuses on advancing knowledge and understanding in areas such as:

01. ANATOMY

Anatomy is the branch of biology concerned with the study of the structure of organisms and their parts. Anatomy is a branch of natural science that deals with the structural organization of living things.

02. MEDICAL BIOLOGY

Medical biology is a field of biology that has practical applications in medicine, health care and laboratory diagnostics.

03. BIOCHEMISTRY

Biochemistry is the study of the chemical substances and vital processes occurring in live organisms.

04. PHARMACOLOGY

The study of the interactions that occur between a living organism and chemicals that affect normal or abnormal biochemical function.

05. PHYSIOLOGY

Physiology is the science of life. It is the branch of biology that aims to understand the mechanisms of living things, from the basis of cell function at the ionic and molecular level to the integrated behaviour of the whole body and the influence of the external environment.

06. HISTOLOGY

Histology, also known as microscopic anatomy or microanatomy, is the branch of biology that studies the microscopic anatomy of biological tissues. Histology is the microscopic counterpart to gross anatomy, which looks at larger structures visible without a microscope.

07. IMMUNOLOGY

Immunology is a branch of medicine and biology that covers the medical study of immune systems in all organisms. In such we can see there is a difference of human immunology and comparative immunology in veterinary medicine and animal biosciences.

08. MICROBIOLOGY

Microbiology is the scientific study of microorganisms, those being unicellular, multicellular, or acellular. Microbiology encompasses numerous sub-disciplines including virology, bacteriology, protistology, mycology, immunology, and parasitology.

09. ONCOLOGY

Oncology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

10. PARASITOLOGY

Parasitology is the study of parasites, their hosts, and the relationship between them. As a biological discipline, the scope of parasitology is not determined by the organism or environment in question but by their way of life.

11. PATHOBIOLOGY

Pathobiology is a branch of biology that concentrates on the biological aspects of disease rather than the medical. 

12. MEDICAL REPRODUCTIVE SCIENCE

Reproductive science is the science of creating life and providing solutions to infertility.

13. TRANSFUSION SCIENCE

Transfusion science involves the analysing of a patients’ blood group and providing safe and appropriate blood or blood components.

14. STEM CELL

Stem cells are special human cells that have the ability to develop into many different cell types, from muscle cells to brain cells.

15. BIOINFORMATICS

Bioinformatics is defined as the application of tools of computation and analysis to the capture and interpretation of biological data.
