Biotechnology is the use of living systems and organisms to develop or make products, or "any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms or its products.
From seeds that produce a better, more desirable harvest to sustaining accomplishments in outer space has been sincerely guided by our knowledge and understanding of biology and technology together.
As career option, biotechnology provides versatile and consistent opportunities for students.
Along with a gateway to careers and professionalism biotechnology in schools is educating a deep understanding of our own functioning and processes at both individual and organizational levels. It gives students a sound awareness of their environment which is helpful in shaping their development.
With clinical and industrial applications at the core of Biotechnology as a subject there is scope of varied engagement at all classifications ranging from lab experts to data analysts and researchers to start up entrepreneurs.
Prospects like intellectual property and copyright in biotechnology also provide students with an opportunity in field of legal advice and novelty.
