By analysing the components of living cells, biotechnologists are learning how to control, fix and modify them to the benefit of global society.
As a budding biotechnologist, you’ll focus on how the fundamental biochemistry underlying biological systems works with innovations in genetics, immunology and bioinformatics. To appreciate how solutions translate to commercial industrial scale, you’ll also need a good understanding of the core physical and chemical engineering principles pertaining to living cells.
DCU’s Biotechnology degree’s will furnish you with the science and engineering fundamentals to succeed in the emerging technology-driven biotech industry. The technologies in this industry have made a real impact on humanity, and include the creation and manufacture of products that help in the diagnosis and treatment of disease (e.g. the production of antibiotics, insulin, and safer recombinant vaccines), and the provision of services to areas like healthcare, food, agriculture, energy and the environment.
This multidisciplinary degree gives you the qualifications and flexibility to work in production, quality control, research, teaching, development, and sales and marketing in a range of biotechnology-related areas, including:
- Production Quality Control
- Research and Development
- Sales and Marketing
- Teaching
