This textbook has been designed to meet the needs of B.Sc. First Semester students for the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE). This textbook comprehensively covers the Course 2, namely, Introduction to Applied Biology. The book has been divided into five units comprising of 21 chapters. The book introduces the students to learn the foundations and principles of microbiology, immunology, biochemistry, biotechnology, analytical tools, quantitative methods, and bioinformatics. It also discusses the techniques, tools and their uses in diagnosis and therapy. Further the students will identify the bioinformatics and statistical tools in comprehending the complex biological data.
This book is complementary to previous book Concise Biochemistry fundamental principles. The questions in each chapter are in line with the chapters and concepts of theory book for a comprehensive preparation. It contains more than 2000+ MCQs for the students who are actively preparing for various national and international examination in life sciences, such as IIT-JAM, JNU-Biotech, Hyderabad University, BHU, CSIR-NET, GATE, GRE etc. Apart from MCQs each chapter also has revision test, important formulae, a crossword puzzle and brain teaser question. Each section is also followed by a mock test paper.

High altitude physiology is one of the ignored domain of the scientific research despite the massive scale of the problem, suggested by nearly 24% of the global population that either visits or dwells at high altitude and remain at the risk of hypoxia associated alterations in physiology. This lecture note entitled "Role of Proteomics in High altitude Pathophysiology" is designed especially for those who are interested in learning proteomics and their application in the field of high altitude physiology. It meets the needs of the proteomics studies prescribed for the high altitude physiology as it covers pathophysiology and molecular biology of high altitude sickness.
