TNU’s M.Sc. in Biotechnology is the field that involves the use of living organisms and bioprocesses in engineering, technology, medicine and other fields requiring bio products. This programme will include curriculum designed by academic experts and shall facilitate research and handson experiential training in well-equipped laboratories to provide students with real-life work experience. The aim of such basic research is to increase scientific knowledge. As the global population grows, scientists look for biotechnologists for solutions to various problems, like adequate food, infant mortality and sustainable agriculture.
Biotechnology is a product-based industry and not a service industry. Biotechnologist will be working with DNA, tissues, bacteria, virus, and complex proteins. Depending specialization and/or expertise, someone will be working as a medical biotechnologist, pharmaceutical biotechnologist, agricultural biotechnologist, food biotechnologist, environmental biotechnologist or industrial
biotechnologist etc. The biotechnology segment is the fastest growing segment in India. It is valued about $11 billion currently and it will touch the $ 100 billion mark by 2025 as per the forecast of the Association of Biotechnology Led Enterprises (ABLE). Furthermore, the biotech industry is expected to grow at 30% growth rate every year (according to Make in India website). As the current pandemic situation, has caused the most significant impact in peoples life all over the world, the importance of studying Biotechnology and job opportunities in this sector is ever growing making it the most suitable career choice for young individuals.
Top Ten Indian Biotech Giants: Biocon, Bangalore Serum Institute of India, Pune Panacea Biotec Limited, Hyderabad Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Limited, Hyderabad Wockhardt, Mumbai Glaxo Smith Kline Pharmaceuticals Limited Bharat Serums and Vaccines Limited, Mumbai Novozymes, Mumbai Indian Immunologicals Limited, Hyderabad Shantha Biotechnics Limited, Hyderabad.
Graduates can also opt for alternative career options like, Medical Writing (Technical Copy Writing), Scientific Journalism, Healthcare Informatics, Data Science & Big Data Analytics, Product Marketing & Management, Technical Sales, FAS & Business Development, Market Research & Consulting, Intellectual Property & Patent Law and Entrepreneurship. M.Sc. degree is a qualification for doing Ph.D. with a handsome research fellowship.
Life Sciences Sector Skill Development Council (LSSSDC)
TNU has collaborated with Life Sciences Sector Skill Development Council (LSSSDC), New Delhi to share knowledge resources in the key area of Life Sciences (Pharmaceutical, Bio- Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology & Bioinformatics, contract research). LSSSDC
will facilitate the skilling process within its boundaries of function.
Association of Biotechnology Led Enterprises (ABLE)
TNU has Membership with Association of Biotechnology Led Enterprises (ABLE). ABLE is a not-for- profit pan-India forum that represents the Indian Biotechnology Sector. ABLE has over 400 members from all across India representing all verticals of the sector like Agribiotech, Bio-pharma, Industrial biotech, Bioinformatics, Investment banks and Venture Capital firms, leading Research and Academic Institutes and Law Firms and Equipment Suppliers.
The Department of Biotechnology is one of the most thriving Departments in The Neotia University. This research-oriented unit has several well equipped research laboratories including an independent and dedicated research laboratory (Microbial Ecology research laboratory) that makes the Department a perfect place for practicing research with worthy objectives. The Department
has received several research grants including an externally funded grant that lead to enrich the infrastructure of the Department substantially. The learned faculty members of the Department make sure that the students obtain an all-round knowledge in the context of basic and applied aspects of cutting edge research. They are always helped to develop special skills by individually performing an in-house mini research project as well as visiting various Biotechnology industries. In most cases, the students complete the degree having some publications from reputed international journals as well as a thorough experience in the industrial arena. The Biotechnology Department of The Neotia University offers the students the state-of-the-art facilities and immense scope for practicing quality research for developing a better future.
