Manipal Life Science Centre (MLSC), as a constituent institute of Manipal University, was established in 2002 to impart multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary teaching and researches in Life Sciences curriculum. The institute gained its independent status in 2006 and soon became one of the leading scientific hubs of Manipal, pioneering efforts in integrating Medical sciences with biological sciences.
MLSC has been recognized as TIFAC-CORE (Technology Information, Forecasting & Assessment Council Centres of Relevance & Excellence), under vision 2020 in the area of Pharmacogenomics. Well equipped with excellent state-of-the-art facilities and a vibrant learning atmosphere, the college imparts several UG and PG courses in Life Sciences such as B Sc in Biotechnology, M Sc in Medical Biotechnology, M Sc in Bioinformatics, and M Sc in Molecular Biology and Human Genetics, along with a certificate programme in Bioinformatics. In addition, the institute has been collaborated with several International Universities for twinning programmes in United States, Germany, The Netherlands, and Australia.
