SUB-CATEGORIES OF BIOTECHNOLOGY:\n\nRED BIOTECHNOLOGY is biotechnology applied to medical processes. Some examples are the designing of organisms to produce antibiotics, and the engineering of genetic cures to cure diseases through genomic manipulation.\n\nWHITE BIOTECHNOLOGY, also known as GREY BIOTECHNOLOGY, is biotechnology applied to industrial processes. An example is the designing of an organism to produce a useful chemical. White biotechnology tends to consume less in resources than traditional processes when used to produce industrial goods.\n\nGREEN BIOTECHNOLOGY is biotechnology applied to agricultural processes. An example is the designing of an organism to grow under specific environmental conditions or in the presence (or absence) of certain agricultural chemicals. One hope is that green biotechnology might produce more environmentally friendly solutions than traditional industrial agriculture. An example of this is the engineering of a plant to express a pesticide, thereby eliminating the need for external application of pesticides. Whether or not green biotechnology products such as this are ultimately more environmentally friendly is a topic of considerable debate.\n\nBIOINFORMATICS is an interdisciplinary field which addresses biological problems using computational techniques. The field is also often referred to as computational biology. It plays a key role in various areas like functional genomics, structural genomics, and proteomics amongst others, and forms a key component in biotechnology and pharmaceutical sector.\n\nThe term BLUE BIOTECHNOLOGY has also been used to describe the marine and aquatic applications of biotechnology, but its use is relatively rare.

There is an interesting and informative essay on biotechnology in wikipedia. The web address is listed below.\n\nHere is an excerpt that may be just what you are looking for:\n\n"Green biotechnology is biotechnology applied to agricultural processes. An example is the designing of transgenic plants to grow under specific environmental conditions or in the presence (or absence) of certain agricultural chemicals. One hope is that green biotechnology might produce more environmentally friendly solutions than traditional industrial agriculture. An example of this is the engineering of a plant to express a pesticide, thereby eliminating the need for external application of pesticides. An example of this would be Bt corn. Whether or not green biotechnology products such as this are ultimately more environmentally friendly is a topic of considerable debate."\n\nThe "green revolution" is driven by a greater perceived need for foods and for ecological balance  - and that is certainly a fascinating and long-term field of study.\n\nGood luck to you, in your studies, your music, and your sports.

Biotechnology is a technology based on biology, especially when used in agriculture, food science, and medicine. Biotechnology can also be defined as the manipulation of organisms to do practical things and to provide useful products.One section of biotechnology is the directed use of organisms for the manufacture of products. There are also applications of biotechnology that do not use living organisms. Modern biotechnology is often associated with the use of genetically altered microorganisms such as E. coli or yeast for the production of substances like insulin or antibiotics. It can also refer to transgenic animals or transgenic plants, such as Bt corn. Genetically altered mammalian cells, such as Chinese Hamster Ovarian (CHO) cells, are also widely used to manufacture pharmaceuticals. Another promising new biotechnology application is the development of plant-made pharmaceuticals. Biotechnology is also commonly associated with breakthroughs in new medical therapies and diagnostic devices.

Biotechnology or BT is industrial application of biology. Its biology in the service of mankind. It involves application of plants, animals and microorganisms in industry. On the other hand, Biomedical engineering uses traditional engineering expertise to solve problems in biology and medicine. Hearing aids, pacemakers etc. are the gifts of biomedical engineering to mankind. \n\nFor list of Biotechnology colleges and Biomedical engineering colleges, visit http://www.biotechworld.cjb.cc

Biotechnology and Microbiology are very related branches of biology. Infact there is no Biotechnology without Microbiology. Microbiology is the fundamental of Biotechnology. It also offers immense scope like Biotechnology.First of all lets see what is Biotechnology or Biotech. Biotechnology is the application of Biology to the welfare of mankind. \n\nBiotechnology can be defined as the application of micro-organisms, plants and animals in industry. It is a relatively old branch that has recieved tremendous attention in the recent past. Now everyone is talking about biotechnology. Remember the production of alcoholic beverages, curdling of milk or fermentation of idli-dosa batter are examples of simple biotechnlogy. Production of vinegar and alcoholic beverages, production of drugs and medicines, production of high productivity seeds and fertilizers etc. comes under the purview of biotechnology. All these are big business today. All this is going to grow ever greater and that too with a faster pace.\n\nMicrobiology is the study of micro-organisms like bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, algae etc. Microorganisms as we konw can't be seen with naked eyes. Hence we make use of microscope to view microorganisms. Electron microscopes are a must if we want to view and study viruses. Microbiology includes subjects like Genetics, Biochemistry, Fermentation Technology, Immunology, Medical Microbiology and Pathology and Applied branches like Soil Microbiology, Plant Microbiology, Food and Dairy Technology etc.It thus forms the basis of Biotechnology.\n\nScope in Biotechnology and Microbiology is enormous. You can do a Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology or Microbiology. This is a three year university program.Some best universities in India that offer BSc. Biotechnology and Microbiology are University of Pune(http://www.unipune.ernet.in), Delhi University, Bangalore University etc. After doing BSc., its recommended that one should go for Masters course which will fine tune his/her career. One can do MSc. Microbiology or Biotechnology. Some top universities offering MSc. Biotechnology and Microbiology in India are University of Pune, Jawaharlal Nehru University(JNU), University of Delhi, Bangalore University etc. University of Pune is the first university in South-East Asia to start MBA in Biotechnology or MBA-BT. This is a two year post-graduate program in management.The eligibility for doing MBA-Biotechnology is a minimum three year graduation in science field like biotechnology, microbiology, physics, chemistry, zoology, botany, genetics, agricultural biology, pathology, computer sciences etc. Even engineers can apply for this course and they have great scope in bio-instrumentation firms. MBA in Biotechnology is a good career option for those who have done Bsc. If you have done BSc. Biotech or Microbiology then you can futher do MBA-Biotechnology. MBA-Biotechnology is also called MBA-Biotech or MBA-BT. MBA-Biotech is available at the PUMBA(Department of Management Sciences, University of Pune).It is No.1 MBA-BT course in India. Placements are amazing as the course has recieved good response from industry. After doing MBA-Biotechnology you get to become a manager in Biotech and Pharma companies. The need for MBA-Biotech is going at a rapid pace as the whole BT sector is booming. For details regarding MBA-Biotechnology visit http://www.microbiologyindia.cjb.net , India's first student oriented web-site on Biotechnology and Microbiology and listed on major search engines like Google search, Yahoo Search, AltaVista Search, Hot-Bot etc.\n\nAdvantage India - India offers distinct advantage for Biotech industry. The major advantage is the cost advantage of production in India.India also offers large pool of highly skilled technical people. Now India also offers growing pool of Managerial population who can understand Biotech sector and manage it.Kudos to the University of Pune for starting such unique MBA in Biotechnology program. Al

The energy field has some biotechnology aspects. Organisms can produce methane, which is the same as natural gas. The production of ethanol from cellulosic materials like wood is something of a challenge at the moment. Not to mention all the questions relating to the damage caused by pollution.\n\nYou seem a bit hesitant at the moment and what I can say is to stick with it. Even if you have to go it alone for a few years taking on the role of an outside observer and critic, you may find rewards. A sense of "ownership" of one's career is often missing when one is employed by others and constrained to support missions involving something other than one's own choice.\n\nBe aware, though, of competition. The educational establishment often does not prepare, nor is it often possible, students for the rigors of a rough and tumble world.

Biology has traditionally consisted of botany, zoology and microbiology.  Chemistry has consisted mainly of physical, organic, analytical and biochemistry.  Until relatively recently those divisions have held up reasonably well.  Now there is a whole new world of chemical and physical biology and biochemistry and biophysics.  To throw all of biology and chemistry into biochemistry would be a misnomer for many of the parts of both.  To add biochemistry or chemical biology into one pot might be a good idea to catch the questions in the area betwen
