B.Sc in BioTechnology
Biotechnology, an enabling technology, is a growing and a very rapidly changing subject which has created a number of new opportunities for the upliftment of human society. The knowledge of Biotechnology has broad applications in many diverse areas of basic research, industry and commerce.
The subject has wide avenues that employ and industrial technology based on the biological synthesis of proteins such as insulin, genetic engineering of plants and animals, and other related technologies. It has tremendous manipulative capabilities of genetic information of an organism by inserting foreign DNA to obtain desired products of invaluable needs. Biotechnology promises a revolution in gene therapy in the years to come. Having multidisciplinary strategies and interdisciplinary synthesis, the potential and scope of Biotechnology seem unlimited.
