Introduction
Biotechnology is concerned with the utilization of biological agents (microorganisms, cells of higher organisms, living or dead) or their components for generating useful products or services. Biotechnology is multidisciplinary in nature and draws heavily from a number of science disciplines such as microbiology, chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, immunology, cell and tissue culture, physiology, plant and animal sciences, chemical and biochemical engineering. The union of biotechnology with recombinant DNA technology (genetic engineering) has developed a new field called molecular biotechnology focused on the modification or development of new products. The degree program in biotechnology at Kinnaird is designed to develop a comprehensive understanding of theoretical and practical concepts. Students after completing their degree can pursue higher studies in biotechnology and other relevant disciplines or take up an exciting and rewarding career in research organizations, academic institutions, clinical labs, hospitals and in a number of leading industries, notably pharmaceutical, food and agricultural industries.
