Highlights The ‘Department of Life Sciences (DLS)’, one of the youngest departments in the history of Presidency University came into existence in 2013 as ‘Department of Biological Sciences (DBS)’, and then renamed as ‘Department of Life Sciences (DLS)’ in 2016. Though still in the fledgling years of its inception, DLS has already started paving roads for an entirely revolutionized way of teaching science. With a research centric curriculum, it has modernized the way students approach life sciences, both at the undergraduate and postgraduate level. The strength of the department lies in its dynamic, research- focused faculty, many of whom have left illustrious research careers to come and work at DLS. They bring with them the bright ideas and the enthusiasm of the young, and tirelessly encourage the students to strive for excellence. The research focus of the faculty is also very diverse, and covers a wide range of areas from cell and molecular biology, virology, cancer biology, plant biotechnology, developmental biology, microbiology, biochemistry, computational biology, structural biology, environmental biology and ecology. Several faculty also hold prestigious national fellowships and research grants. There are also extensive intradepartmental, interdepartmental, as well as international collaborations, which allows for a truly interdisciplinary research environment.
