The School of Bio Sciences & Technology (SBST) was established in 2001 and consists of four departments: Biotechnology, Integrative Biology, Biosciences, and Biomedical Sciences, headed by well-trained professors. SBST has 40 research laboratories and 16 teaching labs, including an animal house and histopathology lab.

The School offers one undergraduate (B.Tech in Biotechnology), four postgraduate (M.Sc. and M. Tech.) programs, and two integrated M.Sc. programs (Biotechnology and Food Sciences and Technology). It also offers an Integrated Ph.D. and a Ph.D. for external and internal (VITREE-qualified) students. In addition, SBST is associated with VIT's major research centers, the Centre for Bio Separation Technology (CBST) and the Centre for Nanobiotechnology (CNBT), and has dedicated faculty members who ignite young minds.

The other significant priorities include developing entrepreneurship skills and grooming students to become future scientists to improve humanity. Our efforts are strengthened by collaboration with National and international Universities and multinational companies. Visiting scientists and eminent speakers serve as an excellent resource for constructing knowledge. Healthy interactions with academia, industrial personnel, and clinicians are arranged to encourage young minds to create novel ideas. Consultancy research and commercialization of products at the university are undertaken as a part of the program.

The School has taken up research programmes in Microbiology, Medical Genetics, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Bioinformatics, and other branches of Biomedical Sciences and has thus grown as a major centre of higher education and research in India. An essential feature of SBST's academic activity is its strong link with many national institutions across India.
