Biotechnology Wanna Try

Biotechnology

Biotechnology (BT) is a research-oriented field for application in various areas such as medicine, pharmaceuticals, agriculture & environment. It is an interdisciplinary science encompassing not only biology, but also other subjects including physics, chemistry, mathematics and engineering.

BT is one of the fastest growing fields as it finds application in every aspect of industrial & daily life, from the chemical, pharmaceutical & textile industries to genetic and agriculture. It is undoubtedly the future; genetic engineering, genomic, bio computing, biomedical engineering, bio-sensors, bio-informatics etc., will be the hot topics for the next decade or so. Several factors contribute to this phenomenal interest.

Basic economic needs for all citizens are well met in most countries. With IT shrinking distances & developments in global trade such as WTO regime, globalisation is leading to intense competition. With consequent higher stress level in workplaces, healthcare is getting increasing attention. Pharmaceutical industry is doing well & drug companies have healthy bottom lines. Molecular modeling, visualisation, advanced graphics & high speed computing all working together has enabled drug synthesis life cycle time to be brought down from 2-3 years to 6-12 months.

The renewed interest in environmental protection,‘ a back to nature trend’& concern about ecology & interest in natural/ biodegradable/ recyclable material for paper, display devices, printing, colouring dyes, battery cells, etc. focus research onto biological & botanic organic materials.

MAIN AREAS OF WORK

Biotechnology studies are applicable in variety of area which include:

Health Care

Biotechnologists are involved in the development of pharmaceuticals, diagnostics & vaccines.

Agriculture & Animal Husbandry

BT has opened up new opportunities for crop, tree & animal improvement. Tissue culture is helping agriculturists over come the limitations of genetic breeding, disease resistance, soil imbalance etc. Furthermore, biotechnologists are encouraging a shift from chemical to bio-fertilisers & the development of bio-insecticides & pesticides. BT is also applied to developments in Horticulture for purposes of export, as well as in the area of animal breeding animal feed & improved food production for human consumption.

Environment

Causes of industrial air pollution, waste & effluent treatment, are major areas of concern being handled now through Biotechnology. Recycling of sewage sludge, microbial treatment for oil spills, toxic wastes & biological waste treatment of industrial effluents is increasingly being tackled by biotech firms.

THE WORK

The work of biotechnologist is basically research oriented & aims at application of technology to the improvement of life & development of a variety of end uses.

MAJOR TASKS PERFORMED

PRODUCTION: Biotechnologist are involved in production of the bio-processed materials-foods, pharmaceuticals, tissue culture, chemicals.

Industrial Research & Development: Research organisations in the government & private sector employ biotechnologist for research work in areas-pollution control, waste management & for various chemical process for increased productivity.

ACADEMIC RESEARCH: Academic research is technical, conducted more for expanding the horizons of knowledge than for application in specific areas of work. At academic & research institutes, studies are conducted in areas such as biochemical engineering, microchemistry, genetics & biochemistry.

PLANNING & MARKETING: Biotechnologist in this area are involved in the installation & commissioning of industrial plants as well as industrial plants & policies. They also determine the allocation of resources for purpose of technological developments & studies in the marketing of biotechnology products & processes, in industry, in the medical field & in agriculture.

JOB PROSPECTS

Candidates with postgraduate qualifications in biotechnology are employed in leading pharmaceutical companies, in chemical industries as well as agriculture & allied industries. They are also employed in the areas of planning, production & management of bio-processing industries, organic chemical industries & in pollution control activities of the major industries. They are also employed on a large scale in research laboratories run by the government & corporate sector.

India is a virgin field for biotechnological advancement. Yet BT is the second fastest growing employment sector after multi-media. Lot is happening in the field to give BT an impetus to make it move ahead with a cosmic speed & do wonders! So is it BT after IT? Certainly, yes!

Pharma Carreer Options

Career options after completing B Pharm or M Pharm

1. Teaching - B Pharm - First Class students are eligible to teach as lecturers in the D Pharm programme, where as M Pharm, First Class students can get a lecturer’s job in pharmacy degree colleges. It takes about 5 years to reach the grade of Sr. lecturer and about 10 years to become Assistant Professor and about 12 years to become Professor or a Principal of a college. While in teaching profession they can do research in pharmaceutical field and strive to become a well-known Research Scientist.

2. Pharmacist – Being in the health-related field, the B Pharm graduate can be Health-system Pharmacist or Hospital Pharmacist or Community Pharmacist.

3. Quality Assurance Health Manager – The Pharmacy graduate can play an important role in the development of clinical care plans, can investigate adverse medication events and in some cases can suggest preventive measures can play a key role in spreading awareness amongst the people about AIDS and the preventive measures to be taken.

4. Medical Transcription - The B Pharm graduate can work with medical practitioners to maintain the patient treatment history, the drug to which he/she is allergic etc.

5. Analytical Chemist of Quality Control Manager – The pharmacy graduate can play a crucial role in controlling product quality. The drug and the Cosmetics Act (1945), Rules 71(1) and 76(1) says that the manufacturing activity should be taken up under the supervision of a technical man whose qualification should be B Pharm, B Sc, B Tech or medicine with Bio-Chemistry.

6. Sales and Marketing – Ambitious achievers with pleasant personality and good communication skills can opt for the job of Medical Sales Representative. The companies prefer pharmacy graduates for this job, as they have a good knowledge about the drug molecules, their therapeutic effects and the drug –drug interactions.

7. Clinical Research - B Pharm/ M Pharm degree holders can take up career in clinical research. The human testing phase is called the clinical trial. A pharmacist can work as clinical research associate or clinical pharmacist and can rise to the position of project manager. The clinical research associate plays an important role of monitoring and overseeing the conducts of clinical trials, which are conducted on healthy human volunteers. They have to see that the trials meet the international guidelines and the national regulatory requirements.

8. Data Manager - A pharmacist can seek employment as “Data Manager” to store the data in the computer and process it using software developed for the purpose.

9. Regulatory Manager - A pharmacy graduate can work as “Regulatory Manager”(RM) in companies and contract research organization. As an RM he has to oversee regulatory documentation such as Clinical trial approval permission, marketing approval permission etc.

10. Career in Regulatory bodies - A Pharmacist can be absorbed in the Regulatory bodies like Food and Drug Administration. Pharmacist having experience in clinical trial centers can also work as an inspector to inspect the clinical trial process. For these government jobs the student needs to appear and pass the MPSC examination.

11. Biotechnology is a fast growing branch and the B Pharm graduates can opt for post graduate diploma programme in Bioinformatics.

12. They can handle the job of monitoring the conduct of clinical trials that are conducted on human volunteers. It is their responsibility to see that the clinical trials are carried out as per the international guidelines.

13. The B Pharm Science programme is considered as a paramedical programme.The B Pharm Science graduates can therefore work in hospitals as hospital pharmacist or community pharmacist.

14. Since they have a good knowledge of therapeutic effects of drugs and that of drug-drug interaction, they are more suitable for a job in clinical research.They can opt for the post of clinical pharmacist or clinical research associate in a clinical research laboratory.
