Program Domains

Medicine and Health Care

Biotechnology application in this area has helped in the development of various medicines, vaccines and diagnostics. The remarkable development work carried out by biotechnologists in this field has led to improvement in the methods of diagnosis & cure for diseases which were once thought to be incurable and are now no more a cause of worry & which indeed has been a blessing for humankind. More research is continuously being undertaken & many break though achievements will emerge in future, in the medicine & healthcare field. Stem cells & DNA printing are some of the commonly known applications.

Industrial Research and Development

Both the government and the private sector employ biotechnologists to conduct research and development work for increasing productivity, improving energy production and conservation, minimizing pollution and industrial waste etc. Biotechnologists also find opportunities at places involving activities like chemical processes, genetic engineering, textile development, cosmetic development etc.

Agriculture and Animal Husbandry

Indian economy is very much dependent on agriculture and biotechnologists have made major advancements in this area. Over the years the agriculture output has been improving owing to the improvements in the quality of seeds, insecticides and fertilizers. The latest technologies like micro propagation and tissue culture have further helped agriculture to overcome problem like soil imbalance, genetic breeding and crop diseases. Biotechnologists are also encouraging a shift from chemically prepared fertilizers and insecticides to bio-insecticides and bio-chemicals. Further new breeds of plants with specific qualities such as weather or wither resistance or plants with specific insect resistance, or taste or nutritional value & properties etc are being developed. Biotechnology’s intervention in the area of animal husbandry has improved animal breeding. Numerous kinds of genetically engineered, high yielding animal breeds have come up which has increased the output of dairy products as well as the meat products. India has in fact, become the largest milk producer in the world and in its further growth Biotechnical inputs will make important contribution.

Environment

Environment biotechnology has become another area of extensive work due to the dangers brought about by increasing levels of environmental pollution. In this field, the job of a biotechnologist spans from checking industrial & air pollution levels, treatment of industrial wastes, recycling of sewage sludge using bio-technological inputs & controls.
