The KIIT School of Biotechnology is located in Bhubaneswar, India.
KIIT School of Biotechnology (KSBT) was established in 2007 as a constituent of KIIT University to be the first institute in the state to have integrated academic and research programmes. The foundation of such an institute in Orissa has been undertaken with vision of developing a trained human resource in the promising field of biotechnology. By means of a simple vision of “Science for Society”, we work for making biotechnology available to the common masses.
With our team of young and experienced research faculty we conduct several society based research programmes and workshops. We organize, sponsor and host guest faculty, national and international conferences and interaction sessions of well-known speakers for scientific growth of post graduate and research students besides having a personality development programme. Besides developing qualified personnel, KSBT has established a Technology Business Incubator facility (KIIT-TBI), for the promotion of entrepreneurs in making and juvenile industries. Association with several national and international laboratories allows collaborative research and also benefit growth and facilitate student scientific exchange programmes.

We’re happy to announce the opening of our group exhibition Think Art – Act Science in the Walter and McBean Galleries at the San Fancisco Art Institute on September 21st at 5pm with a sound performance by Alexandre Joly.
The exhibition in San Francisco is a cooperation between the Swiss artists-in-labs program, swissnex San Francisco, the San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI) and the Bay Area Science Festival.
Featured Artists:
Monika Codourey | Christian Gonzenbach | Alexandre Joly | Roman Keller | Pe Lang | Wenfeng Liao | Alina Mnatsakanian | Nicole Ottiger
Think Art – Act Science exhibits works and collaborative processes from artists who have engaged in long-term creative dialogues with scientists. During an immersive nine-month residency in a scientific research institute the artists were exposed to the discourses within the scientific community and gained deep insights into the methodologies and processes of scientific research. From a total of twenty-four artists who have participated in the Swiss artists-in-labs program since 2007 and created works so far, eight will be on display in San Francisco. Since two of these artists took part in a Sino-Swiss residency exchange 2009 between Switzerland and China, the exhibition not only tries to build a bridge between different cultures of knowledge, but moreover points towards promising exchanges between art and science on a global scale.
For the duration of the exhibition a surrounding program includes a variety of participative formats such as workshops (student and public), conferences, performances and lectures. Additionally, both SFAI and swissnex San Francisco sites will host such events as part of the Bay Area Science Festival, which runs from 26 October – 6 November 2011.
