About Us

Overview

Symbiosis School of Biological Sciences (formerly Symbiosis School of Biomedical Sciences) – commonly referred to as SSBS is situated at Lavale campus of the Symbiosis International (Deemed University). SSBS was established in 2011 under the Faculty of Health Sciences (FoHS) to address the need for a school devoted to imparting training in Life Science research.

In the past, scientific research has given highly effective technologies for the prevention and control of human diseases. However, with the upsurge of chronic diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular diseases; re-emerging diseases like malaria, dengue; and with the advent of newly emerging diseases like HIV, influenza and recently COVID-19, there is an impending need to invest and add value to fundamental research that has clinical implications or that translates into innovation.

Our goal is to foster “quality centric collaborative research” and to develop knowledge-rich highly skilled human resource, who can understand and address the needs of the society through progress made in science.
