Genomics & Biosimilars is a field of study concerned with the study of drugs that are comparable to original drugs but are not precisely the same. These are not generic and do not contain identical active pharmaceutical ingredients, but they are comparable to the original reference drugs regarding quality, safety and effectiveness. Biosimilars are therapeutic alternatives; however, they are not generics. For biosimilars, the manufacturing process must be at the highest level of testing and monitoring.

The course at UPES, B.Tech. Biotechnology students specialising in Genomics & Biosimilars will be educated about the current laws, manufacturing science and distribution procedures of Biosimilar products from India and across the world. Students will be taught about the controversies associated with Generic medicines and the necessity to create Biosimilar products. Students will also understand the process of discovering a drug in a laboratory before being tested through clinical trials and finally introduced to the market to be commercialised.

Academic Framework

Since its beginning, the primary goal of higher learning within UPES has been to investigate and encourage learning areas with a focus on innovation and futurism. This has resulted in constant improvement in facilitating innovative and collaborative learning experiences for students by reorienting the course curriculum and exploring virtual tools and open-source courseware, resulting in an environment of learning that is apprehensive and accessible to complete information.

The new framework for curriculum in UPES, ABLE (Academic Blueprint for Learning Excellence), is complete in its design and yet is focused on the unique needs of each student to learn experiences, discover, investigate and be challenged. The learning is broken down into core subjects and core specialisms minors/exploratory subjects, as well as life skills and signature learning. The newly established School provides these three courses for life.

SFL (School for the Future) is an integral component of the overall UPES student experience. It is a way to facilitate education and learning that balances what students desire and what they need from their future as global leaders and citizens of the next generation. With programs designed to provide students with the ability to learn for life and a concentration on a variety of current issues, as well as the requirement of a professional and social internship that is distinctive, UPES believes in igniting to ignite the best person within each of us to improve the world.
