MS Biotechnology – LCWU – Lahore

Course Name:    MS Biotechnology

Overview:   

Biotechnology is the application of biological organisms, systems or processes to produce substances or products useful to mankind. The current biotechnology grew out of advances in biological sciences such as genetics, microbiology, and biochemistry and information technology.

Teaching and research in the field of biotechnology must be strengthened in Pakistan not only to assimilate the progress made in the world but also to undertake research for solving our own specific problems. This would be possible only by producing well-trained scientific manpower in our country. It is therefore urgently required to incorporate well-planned academic programs in biotechnology in our education system.
