future of biotechnology is bright? comment.

I tend not to think so because the benefits of many advances are not likely to reach all of humanity, and although I dont consider myself a dooms-dayer the lack of foresight by scientist could create bigger problems than they fix. One example that alarms me is the genetic modification of corn, a wind pollinated crop. Genetic polution from these crops has accidentally spread to ancient and wild varieties of the species, and could threaten the genetic diversity that we will likely need for the future. various projects involving modifications to bacteria and viruses also have me concerned because of potential unforseen consequences.

very bright future next to software

biotecnology has loadzz of scope in India as well as abroad there is much to say the best thing u can do is visit the link below.

pharmacogenomics would be a good one.

Hi,\n\nbiotechnology is great field:\n\nBiotechnology is technology based on biology, especially when used in agriculture, food science, and medicine. The UN Convention on Biological Diversity has come up with one of many definitions of biotechnology:[1]\n"Biotechnology means any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use."\n\n( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biotechnology )\n\nRead the page and you'll see how versatile and interesting a biotechnology specialist is.

a hybrid between biological/electronic technology enabling our brains to communicate directly with implanted computers, eventually in our own language. \n\nI also think anti-ageing genetic modification is on the horizon, but i fear this development. The slower people age, the longer they are going to live & our resources, both natural & financial are going to be stretched to breaking point.

Well, what do you want to know?\n\nI've got a masters and worked in biotech for 10 miserable years before going back to school and becoming a programmer.\n\nThere's no money in biotech (for the actual scientists), and from what my former co-workers are finding out, there's not a heck of a lot of job stability anymore either.

Nanotechnology. Improved digital broadcasting and free phone calls. Synthetic fuels. New and wonderful drugs for diseases now difficult to treat.

Biotechnology is a growing sector. Experts feel that biotech industry may surpass IT and ITeS in overall growth and employment generation\n\nMost biotechnologists find employment on a large scale in research laboratories run by the government, universities and institutes of technology, as well as the corporate sector. The department of biotechnology has many openings for scientific officers in different biotechnology disciplines.

I think a great deal more needs to be done in animal cloning before humans get involved. Besides the ethical issues, there are real physiological difficulties that seem to erupt in cloned organisms. It seems that having two sets of genetic material really is important.

Biotechnology is good area to consider as a future career.  My advise is that you pick something you like to do rather than just based on whether there are jobs.  \n\nThe problem is that good jobs available now may not be there when you graduate.  Similarly, there is no guarantee that jobs will not be open up when you are ready for them.  Keep your eyes open and do the best you can on things that you like most is my advice for you.\n\nIn terms of the specifics such as which courses are good or bad is not so meaningful.  I believe good teachers/professors will make the difference.  If you are lucky in getting some good professors, you will want to study what they are interested.  So pick good professors if you can.  \n\nStudy habit is also very important.  If you do not put your head in it, you may not be getting what you are supposed to learn.  If you have questions, you need to ask them.\n\nGood luck.  By the way, biotech is better in the US.  If you are serious about doing biotech, you have to open to jobs in the US.  You may not like the politics though.

Well just try out any one of the compnies in INdia. Biotechnology is very recent feild and Companies are really short of hands. So dont worry, u wll be absobed by companies as u complete ur gradutaiton.

We need teachers, but I'm not too sure about the PhD part.\n\nWe are not evolving fast enough to know what we will turn into. If I had to guess, I would say future humans will be better-looking, and innately immune to today's diseases. But that's about it.

It is the wave of the future of human medicine. There are many web sites that support that concept. International Stem Cell Research - WEB site.

Do you remember the comment by Jimmy the Greek about breeding?  It was a true statement and ABC fired him for it. As far as genetically engineered we are probably some way out, we will get engineered laborers first because there would be more money in them but athletes won't be far behind.

I would guess that it would be in the field of biochemistry. Perhaps cloning will be the next big thing, where we may be able to growth individual organs for transplants.
