BIOTECHNOLOGY.....Taking India To The Next Level.

BIOTECH -- RULES THE WORLD

Biotechnology is globally recognized as a rapidly emerging and wide reaching technology and it is aptly named as the "Technology of Hope".

Biotechnology can deliver the next wave of technological change that can be radical and even more pervasive than that brought about by IT.

Biotechnology is an applied science aimed at harnessing the natural biological capabilities of microbial plant and animal cells for the benefit of mankind. Biotechnology couples scientific and engineering principles with commercial aspects to develop and improve products and processes made from living system with various advancements in the field of Genomic, Genetic Engineering, Recombinant DNA Technology, Drug Design, Stem Cell Research, DNA Sequencing, Tissue Culture etc. There are vast opportunities in this field.

Biotechnology is the application of techniques and processes that utilize biological systems for the efficient and useful production of materials to serve human needs in agriculture, medicine, industry and daily life. Modern development in the field has been greatly stimulated by recent advances in biochemistry and molecular biology. Humans have been making use of biotechnology since they discovered farming. 

However, the most modern techniques in biotechnology owe their existence to the discovery of DNA. Currently, scientists directly alter genetic material with atomic precision, using techniques otherwise known as recombinant DNA technology. Anyone looking for a career in biotech can choose from a wide variety of scientific and non-scientific disciplines, ranging from molecular genetics to chemistry, to business management and law. Almost every aspect of human life is touched by biotechnology. We continue to look for ways to improve our health, increase food production with an eye to feeding the poor in less industrialized countries, and clean up our environment. Biotechnology offers more environmentally sound solutions to the onslaughts of the industrial revolution, and a wealth of hidden answers to our most intriguing medical questions. For those reasons, biotech research will carry on and the industry is here to stay.
