Biotechnology Applications
Biotechnology applications are now reaching into industries such as forestry, fisheries, agriculture, clinical medicine, diagnostic medicine, home health care, forensics, paternity testing, food preparation, and ranching. This new program will provide students with hands-on experience in this emerging high-tech area and prepare them to work in area industries, or to go on to medical, professional or academic programs. Biotechnology is concerned with many areas but the primary course work for this program will be centered around cellular chemistry, heredity and genetics. This will be expanded into areas such as biochemistry, antibodies, gene expression, protein synthesis and recovery, amino-acid and DNA sequencing, gene manipulation and modification, PCR technology and molecular genetics. back..
