Several specialties including biosciences, Chemistry and Biochemistry, physics and biophysics, biotechnology and bioinformatics, nanotechnology and nanomedicine, computer science and AI, medical sciences, dental sciences, veterinary medicine, pharmaceutical sciences, agriculture and forestry, food science and technology, genetics, epigenetics and environmental sciences fall in the purview of life sciences. Life sciences, therefore, form the knowledge base for healthcare, animal care, agriculture, forest produce, marine bioproducts, food technology, global warming, pollution and health. On the other hand, these disciplines also provide basic infrastructure for the life sciences organizations (LSOs) like health care products, pharmaceuticals, drug discovery and development, specialty chemicals, vaccines, diagnostics, clinical research, agricultural and food products, forest products, wildlife conservation products, marine bioproducts, alternative energy systems, and global warming control and environment supporting products.
The Academy has experts with specializations in the frontier areas of Biology, Chemistry, Physics and nanotechnology, Biophysics, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Bioinformatics and AI, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Medical Science, Dental Science, Veterinary Medicine, Genetics, Environmental Science, Wild Life Conservation, Extraterrestrial Life Science etc. More specifically The Academy has expertise in fundamental research in various fields like drug discovery research and drug development, nanomedicine, ion channels and channelopathies, hematology, cancer research, the physiological basis of medicine, internal medicine, dental science, cardiovascular science, research on diabetes, hypertension and obesity, molecular pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, R&D on herbal drugs, fermentation science and technology, translation research, pharmaceutical research, nutrition and nutraceuticals, and forest-based and marine bioproducts.
