The laboratories at Prin. B. V. Bhide Foundation for Research, Innovation and Incubation are established to foster research excellence, innovation, skill development, and incubation across interdisciplinary scientific domains. The laboratory set-up is designed to support basic research, applied research, training programmes, and startup incubation, with a strong emphasis on scientific rigor, safety, and ethical practices.
Each laboratory provides a structured environment that enables hands-on learning, experimentation, and technology development, catering to students, researchers, faculty members, innovators, and entrepreneurs.
The Foundation houses well-planned, modern laboratory infrastructure with dedicated spaces for experimentation, analysis, and training. The infrastructure includes adequate workspace, controlled environmental conditions, reliable power supply, and safety systems, ensuring smooth conduct of research and innovation activities.
All laboratories operate under standard operating procedures (SOPs), biosafety and chemical safety guidelines, and proper waste management practices. The infrastructure is designed to ensure accuracy, reproducibility, and compliance with national and institutional standards, making it suitable for academic research, funded projects, and incubation activities.
Microbiology and Biotechnology Laboratory
The Microbiology and Biotechnology Laboratory supports research and training in microbial sciences and applied biotechnology. The laboratory facilitates work related to microbial isolation, cultivation, characterization, fermentation processes, enzyme production, and biotechnological applications.
This facility enables skill-based training programmes, student projects, faculty research, and startup-oriented product development in areas such as industrial microbiology, environmental biotechnology, and bio-based solutions.
The Molecular Biology and Chronobiology Laboratory is dedicated to understanding biological processes at the molecular and temporal levels. The laboratory supports studies in gene expression, biomolecular interactions, and biological rhythms, enabling research that bridges modern molecular techniques with emerging chronobiological approaches.
The facility is particularly suited for interdisciplinary research, postgraduate training, and exploratory studies linking molecular biology, physiology, health sciences, and Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) perspectives on biological rhythms.
Plant Sciences and Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory
The Plant Sciences and Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory is established to support research in plant biology, conservation, and sustainable agriculture. The laboratory enables studies in plant physiology, propagation, micropropagation, and in-vitro culture techniques.
This facility plays a key role in plant conservation, medicinal plant research, agricultural innovation, and entrepreneurship, aligning with national priorities in biodiversity conservation, AYUSH, and sustainable development.
Chemistry Laboratory
The Chemistry Laboratory provides facilities for basic and applied chemical sciences, supporting experimental work in analytical, organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry. The laboratory enables synthesis, analysis, and characterization of chemical compounds relevant to research, teaching, and innovation activities.
This facility supports interdisciplinary research, product development, and validation activities, particularly in areas connecting chemistry with life sciences, materials, and traditional knowledge-based formulations.
