Research | School of Biotechnology
Overview
Welcome to the School of Biotechnology
Our mission in the School is to understand living things and systems and manipulate them in a controlled, deliberate way for the benefit of humanity. Everything from genetic screening to cancer research to drug development to large scale bioprocessing, to waste treatment to generating cleaner, greener energy, comes within the field of biotechnology.
Biotechnology has revolutionized traditional industries like food processing and brewing. It has also given rise to new technologies for industrial production of enzymes, antibiotics, therapeutic proteins, novel and functional foods, as well as the processing of waste materials.
The School of Biotechnology houses a multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers, teaching both biological sciences and bioprocess engineering at undergraduate level, and researching in a wide variety of disciplines.
