Choosing biotechnology as a career? Post COVID- 19 challenges

Biotech careers:

Choosing biotechnology as a career can be the best option for life science job aspirants to build a better career in the future. Biotechnology can additionally grow your career as well as your vision towards your goal. If you are a job aspirant in the life science field, you normally search for laboratory and academic careers, which are quite disappointing nowadays because of the tough exams like NET and GATE. After even qualifying the exam it is getting difficult to get a fellowship in a recognized university or in a research center for further growth in your career.

From my experiences, I would recommend shifting your goal towards commercial division like the pharmaceuticals, agricultural products, animal farming, probiotics, diary, transgenic crops, transgenic animals, etc. Practical experiences matter a lot rather than your qualification and theoretical knowledge. You might have heard about the industrial biotechnology and experimental biotechnology that is being used to produce unharmed and less cost-effective products from local raw materials. I would also recommend here to most of the job aspirants who are really keen to work in biotechnological fields, should change their mind and media of communication to be active in LinkedIn like social networking sites, where you can get the best opportunities and direct offer from the human resource departments of various biotechnology-related organizations.

Below scientific-practical experiences are mostly asked in the interviews:

•           RNA Technology

•           RNA extraction and purification

•           Northern blot

•           Dot blot and slot blot

•           RT- PCR, Reverse Transcriptase polymerase chain reaction

•           In- situ Hybridization

•           DNA Technology

•           DNA Extraction and purification

•           Reporter assays

•           Complementary DNA for microarrays

•           PCR

•           DNA restriction fragment mapping

•           DNA sub-cloning

•           Library screening and gene cloning

•           Recombinant Protein expression and manufacturing

Novel Nano-vaccines for Melanoma /skin Cancer

Researchers have developed a novel Nano-vaccine for melanoma, the most aggressive type of skin cancer that begins in melanocytes. Their experiments have proven effective in preventing the development of melanoma and in treating primary tumours and metastases that result from melanoma. The focus of the research was on a nanoparticle that serves as the basis for the new vaccine. Melanoma develops in the skin cells, which is called the melanocytes, produce melanin or skin pigment. The fight against skin cancer/melanoma is becoming advanced over the years through a variety of treatment modalities & experiments, such as immunotherapy, radiation therapy & chemotherapy, but the vaccine approach, which has a great effect against various viral diseases, has not materialized yet against cancer. Scientists have shown that it is possible to produce an effective Nano-vaccine against melanoma/skin cancer and to sensitize the immune system to immunotherapies. The researchers harnessed ...

Can Microorganisms Be A Solution To The World's Energy Problems?

Can Microorganisms Be A Solution To The World's Energy Problems? Microorganisms once had an empire on the Earth, thriving by filling every nook and cranny of the environment billions of years before humans first arrived on the scene. The ability of microorganisms to grow from any infinite variety of food sources, rocks, soil, inside roots, compost piles & toxic waste etc. may play a significant role in bailing out our society from the current energy crisis. The Bio design researchers have outlined the paths, where bacteria are the best hope in producing renewable energy in large quantities without damaging the environment or competing with our food supply. Two distinct, but complementary uses of bacteria, which is a current major challenging research area, are: (1)The first use of the microbes is to convert biomass to useful energy. Different microorganisms can grow without oxygen to take this abundant organic matter and convert it to useful forms of energy such as m...
