What is B.Tech in Genetic Engineering?
Genetic
Engineering is a technology that alters the genetic structure of an organism
either by removing or adding DNA. Genetic Engineering, also called genetic
modification or genetic manipulation controls the living being's genes using
biotechnology. It is an arrangement of innovations used to change the
hereditary forms of cells, including the exchange of qualities inside and
across species limits to create enhanced or novel living beings. Genetic
engineering could potentially fix severe genetic disorders in humans by
replacing the defective gene with a functioning one.
Genetic
Engineering has been connected in various fields of research, medicine,
industrial biotechnology, and agriculture. In research, GMOs are utilized to
contemplate quality capacity and articulation through loss of function, gain of
function, tracking and expression experiments. By thumping out genes
responsible for specific conditions it is possible to create animal model organisms
of human diseases. And in addition to producing hormones, immunizations and
different drugs genetic engineering can fix hereditary diseases through quality
treatment. Similar strategies that are utilized to create medications can
likewise have mechanical applications, for example, producing enzymes for
detergents, cheeses, and different products.
Why Study B.Tech in Genetic Engineering?
Genetic
engineering could potentially fix severe genetic disorders in humans by
replacing the defective gene with a functioning one. It is an important tool in
research that allows the function of specific genes to be studied.
Scope of Genetic Engineering:
Genetic engineering is one of the most widely pursued courses in India,
with numerous career aspects in both private and government sector at various
entry levels, wherein an undergraduate or postgraduate student can easily find
work as a research assistant or as lab manager, PhD scholars
can join the university as lecturers while continuing their postdoctoral
training alongside.
To be a genetic engineering scientist, you just need a doctoral degree
in biological sciences. On the completion of the program, one can get work in
the R&D departments of various Government Institutions.
India being a hub of generic medicines, there are tons of job
opportunities in medical and pharmaceutical industries, genetic engineering
firms, and chemical industries with salaries varying anywhere between Rs. 8-12
lakhs p.a. (Approx.). If anyone chooses to work in research labs of various reputed
universities, one day, you may even be administering a whole research project
fully funded by the state.
