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 ...
