LPU supports research through well-equipped labs, collaborations with research institutes, and funding for projects. Students can also apply for research assistant positions or fellowships under faculty-led projects. This background enables you to explore careers in advanced research, biotech industries, academics, and pharmaceuticals. Thus, LPU provides a strong academic and infrastructural base for continuing into doctoral studies in biotechnology.
