Faculty members of the Department of Zoology have established expertise in their field of interest as evident from their publications in National and International journals of repute.
The molecular taxonomy group and endocrinology has the expertise in the use of modern tools for staining and electro microscopy. With the help of gene library sources they could help to identify the phylogenetic significance of endangered species especially caecilian amphibians. This group also has the expertise in spectrophotometric and manometric techniques to validate the reactive oxygen species in fish models.

The molecular Invertebrate Endocrinology group has the know-how of the identification and characterization of Juvenile hormone (JH) in selective insect species. Using HPLC fractionation and mass spectrometric analyzes they could purify the JH samples. Immunochemical techniques, amino acid sequencing and cDNA cloning techniques are available with this group.

The Stress Physiology group has techniques in immunocytochemistry, double staining, measurements of physiological and biochemical indexes, RIA and ELISA measurement of hormones, Absorption and Emission Spectrophotometry, flame photometry and in vitro culture practices.

The Biodiversity and molecular taxonomy group has the expertise in using molecular systematic methods such as isozyme/allozyme electrophoresis, mt DNA studies, Polymerase Chain Reaction and other nuclear techniques like RAPDs and microstaellite polymorphism. Integrating morphological and molecular method to establish the phylogeographic and inter-intra generic fauna is the focal theme of this group.
