Biotechnology in one form or another has flourished since prehistoric times. When the first human beings realized that they could plant their own crops and breed their own animals, they learned to use biotechnology. The discovery that fruit juices fermented into wine, or that milk could be converted into cheese or yogurt, or that beer could be made by fermenting solutions of malt and hops began the study of biotechnology. When the first bakers found that they could make a soft, spongy bread rather than a firm, thin cracker, they were acting as fledgling biotechnologists. The first animal breeders, realizing that different physical traits could be either magnified or lost by mating appropriate pairs of animals, engaged in the manipulations of biotechnology. \n\nWhat then is biotechnology? The term brings to mind many different things. Some think of developing new types of animals. Others dream of almost unlimited sources of human therapeutic drugs. Still others envision the possibility of growing crops that are more nutritious and naturally pest-resistant to feed a rapidly growing world population. This question elicits almost as many first-thought responses as there are people to whom the question can be posed. \n\nBiotechnology is “any technique that uses living organisms or substances from those organisms, to make or modify a product, to improve plants or animals, or to develop microorganisms for specific purposes

Genetic engineering is the manipulation of the DNA of one organism by the introduction of a gene from another organism. After adding the gene, the gene starts functioning normally and we get the desired characteristics we want in that organism.\nThe gene can be introduced by 'carriers' or vectors- like viruses, bacteria or a spray of liposomes.

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

Hi.  I am a scientist who works in the pharmaceutical/biotech industry.  In my field, we do a wide variety of things:\n\nIn terms of cell-based drug discovery assays, we can take cells from a person, grow them in petri dishes and test new drugs that we've developed on them to see if the cells live or die in response to the drug. (Of course, this is in very VERY general terms; it's much more complicated than that).  If we want to test a variety of cell types against a variety of chemical compounds, we can use automated technology called High Throughput Screening... In HTS, very sophotisticated robots carry out 96 or 384 experiments at a time.   \n\nMolecular biologists can change cells by adding viruses or DNA plasmids and allowing the virus or plasmid to assimilate itself into the host cells's normal DNA.  This process is called transfection.  This is useful if you want to overexpress a gene or condition that you want to study or model/test a drug against.  Molecular biologists can also clone these plasmids and grow more of them for large-scale experiments.  Two other common techniques that molecular biologists use are PCR (in which we can look at an organism's  genes) and Western Blots (that allows us to look at certain proteins that are produced / expressed within cells).\n\nHistologists can take tissues and use immunohistochemistry (IHC) to detect the presence of certain proteins or other characteristics of the cells.  In IHC, antibodies which targe a certain cellular protein are applied to a preserved tissue and that antibody can then be detected by fluorescence or an enzyme-based coloration process.  \n\nThese are just a few of the techniques that we use to develop new drug therapeutics.  Be aware that the process to develop one drug from start to finish takes about 15-20 years and about $1billion, which might give you an idea of exactly how complicated it can get once you get into detail on the topic.

Biotechnology is a subject that involves the understanding of the physiology, functions and activities etc of various Biological entities and the use of technology in it to produce better products. \nThe main branches of bio tech are plant bio tech, animal bio tech, genetics, Environmental bio tech, Etc. Each of these branches involves the development of that particular branch with the use of technology.\nMedicines or the medical aspect of biotechnology is found in most of these courses. But the basics has to be genetics if you mean to study human disorders etc.\nBiotechnology has a good future as biotech products are now in demand. Also biotechnologists are needed in researches, Pharmaceutical companies, And various biotech companies itself.
