Biotechnology
includes the application of biology and technology to the
design of new plants, animals, and microorganisms that have
improved characteristics. The methodologies include the use
of recombinant DNA for gene cloning and gene transfers
|
|
between
organisms, culture of plant and animal cells and tissues,
fusion of animal cells or plant protoplasts, andthe regeneration
of whole from single cells. The development of plants crop
plants that are resistant to herbicides or insects, the production
of human growth hormone and insulin by genetically engineered
bacteria and the development of unique vaccines are all examples
of successfull biotechnology.
The course also incorporates the study of Bioinformatics,
the supercomputer-aided biotechnology, that is emerging as
a new opportunity for many enterprises.

|
Prospects
Surveys indicate there will be a continuing high deand for
qualified personnel in plant & agriculture projects, food
processing, pharmaceutical and veterinary industries, as well
as, the life sciences departments in colleges and universities,
biotech research in private and government research institutes.
On the other hand, worldwide Bioinformatics and related research
BPO market is expected to be worth 20 billion dollars for
India.
