Laboratory has been trying to integrate the physiological aspect of human health by using physiological,
anthropometry and molecular techniques.
This laboratory has produced many scholars including 8 Post doc. (6 completed, 2 currently under guidance),
23 doctorate (17 awarded, 6 pursuing) 7 M.Phil (5 awarded, 2 pursuing).

The laboratory is very well equipped with instruments required for physiological and molecular research activities.
This lab has PowerLab, BIOPAC, TLC, Treadmill, Segmental body composition analyser, thermal cycler etc., which are
specialised techniques for measurement of lung functions, cardio vascular, physical fitness and body composition.
Over the past few years it has become an epitome of research centre, in human physiological research. It also has
begun to use molecular and epidemiological methods in order to study lifestyle health complications from a populationspecific perspective.
It will help to make a stronger picture of role of genetics and environment in public health.
