Launched in August 2011, the School of Natural Sciences (SNS) is a pioneering effort for the creation and dissemination of knowledge in the field of natural sciences under the aegis of the Shiv Nadar University. The department of life sciences at SNS has been offering post-graduate courses, where the students are guided by faculty members from Harvard Medical School, Yale University, University of Maryland, Sussex University, Central Institute for Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (CIMAP) and All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). The department has state-of-the-art lab facilities that match international standards. It also expects that the global academic collaborations of Shiv Nadar University with the University of Pennsylvania, Carnegie Mellon University, and Duke University, would help the students to have better exposure and understanding, thereby widening the horizon of their development. The industrial collaborations will fill the gaps between the conventional PhD and industry-ready professions and provide the students with the opportunities for good jobs in academia, industry and hospitals.
