The Department of Biosciences was established a few years back at the COMSATS Institute of Information Technology (CIIT), Islamabad Campus. The department started with the BS Bioinformatics programme in 2003 and currently has more than 125 students. This programme is becoming very popular in the country and will fulfill the future needs of Pakistan in this very important field of study. In addition to the BS programme the department has started MS/PhD programme's in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Immunology, Molecular Genetics and Developmental Biology.
