A science geek is perhaps what one has in mind when one speaks of biotechnology. But what many of us may not know is that the career opportunities in this field are not limited to just doing research in laboratories. Biotechnology offers just as many choices and opportunities as all the other fields have to offer.
Biotechnology is one of the applied science fields that combines both science and engineering principles to a living organism in order to produce a product of interest that is beneficial to the society. Therefore, biotechnology enables a scientist to solve global issues ranging from food security to human and animal diseases.
