EXCITING
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES IN INNOVATIVE RESEARCH.
 Major developments in medical research occur almost daily.
The pace of discovery of new drugs and therapies continues to
accelerate with major initiatives like the Human Genome Project opening
the door to an exciting future in medical research. The powerful tools
of molecular biotechnology are also revolutionising areas beyond
medicine for example in veterinary and forensic sciences, the food and
beverage industries and the environmental sciences.
NEW
COURSE DESIGN
 which
bridges the gap between industry and universities. Designed with the aid of leading members of the biotechnology
industries, this revised course includes a range of exciting new
subjects such as DNA & Forensic Technology, Genetic Engineering
& Bioinformatics, Molecular Immunology, Virology & Parasitology.
CAREER
OPPORTUNITIES
Graduates are qualified for
work:
q
as research
scientists in all fields of biomedical
and veterinary research
(including IVF) and the pharmaceutical
sector (new generation therapeutics);
q
in forensic
science, genetic screening
or customs and quarantine laboratories (DNA fingerprinting);
q
in molecular
virology and microbiology
research
q
in bio-informatics
q
as scientific and technical officers in
specialised disciplines in medical
or veterinary diagnostic and
service laboratories.
Technical
Expertise
 Technical expertise is applicable around
the world in a diversity of industries and
versatile biotechnology graduates will readily adapt their expertise to
areas like patent law, IP, biomining, plant industries (bioherbicides,
crop production, horticulture), marine biology, palaeontology, ecology
(biodiversity analysis) as well as environmental pollution control and
waste management where their skills are increasingly in demand.
