Opportunities for students of Biotechnology:
- Career opportunities for students in biotechnology are abound.
- Those specializing in different sub-disciplines of this field can easily find jobs in both private and government sector undertakings.
- Major recruiters include industries engaged in processing and developing agricultural and biological products, bio-processing industries, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
- There are ample opportunities in industries producing healthcare products, textile industry, cosmetics and organizations engaged in different types of industrial research and development.
- Biotechnology assimilates in itself a number of disciplines.
- Further, there is a great demand for biotechnological experts in countless industries and sectors.
The following are applications where biotechnological techniques are used:
- Agriculture
- Animal Husbandry
- Environment Conservation
- Genetic Engineering
- Health Care
- Medicine
- Industrial Research and Development
Opportunities for students of Microbiology:
- The need for qualified microbiologists continues to grow, both for basic research and practical applications and for the discovery of novel microorganism.
- Microbiologists are still studying how the known microbes function.
- As a result, the field of microbiology has virtually unlimited potential.
- Microbiologists are needed across many industries, including in academic, technology, industrial and environmental organizations.
- Those considering a career in microbiology, or a related field, will benefit from investigating the options before committing to a specific degree program.
- In spite of the broad range of specialties available in microbiology, many positions have similar job activities.
- They may use other equipment, including gas chromatographs, electrophoresis gels, fluorescent cell sorters and various incubators.
- Microbiologists collect samples from the environment, including people, plants, animals and field locations.
- Microbiologists may also observe the effect of microbes on their environment or other organisms.
- This is especially true of medical microbiology, which examines the role of microbes in human health.
- Microbiologists are scientists who study microbes, organisms too small to be seen with the naked eye.
- They also study how microbes interact with their environment.
The following are a few areas where microbiologists can look for placements:
- Environment conservation
- Genetic engineering
- Pharmaceutical industry
- Health Care
- Medicine
- Industrial Research and Development
- Agriculture
- Food Industries
