Cell and tissues culture has been one of the first and foremost techniques paving for recent cutting-edge technologies such as vaccinology, monoclonal antibody production, therapeutic cloning, stem cell technology, etc. It has played a substantial role in the developments of health care and prophylactics industries, thus serving the mankind. It has made the dream of producing cost-effective prophylactics, diagnostics and therapeutics come true and affordable. In the recent past, with the explosion of knowledge in the field of biotechnology, intensive research in being carried out, where undergraduate and post-graduate courses are being offered in this field.
