I'm 26M from India. I have completed bachelors and masters in Biotechnology and currently working in a Biotech reaserch company as Research Associate trainee. Here I have completed countless times of PCR, DNA/RNA Isolation, Electrophoresis, and some Bioinformatics works like Phylogenetic tree construction, MSA/ Pair Wise alignment, and have basic knowledge of BLAST, Uniprot.

I have done certifications in C++, Python, and R. I'm going to resign from current job after completing one yr and do a full time internship of 3 months in AI/ML. I have good knowledge on programming languages.

Which companies should I aim for after the internship and what designation can I choose?

Hi I have some knowledge of the biotech industry as a whole. I graduated with a bachelors in business and i am about to finish a one year degree in biotech. What roles should I apply for?

Hello everyone!

I just completed my masters in Biotechnology in Ireland. I got interested in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine while doing one of the modules in this course and I wish to pursue it further in the form of a PhD. As far as I know, Ireland does not have that big of an industry scope when it comes to regenerative medicine (please correct me if I am wrong), though I do know different groups in academia all across Ireland doing research in this. Hence, I am currently searching for countries which have good scope in this field both in academia and the industry, just in case I feel like switching after I completed my PhD. (I am not really interested in the US due to the work culture there.) So it would be great if anyone could tell me about this.

Hi, I wonder if someone could recommend genomics/bioinformatics books or other materials to study methods of genome sequencing and gene association, considering a graduate level

Hi, Please What can I expect in a Scientist III PRD Analytical interview?

I am towards the end of my thesis masters degree hopefully in biological sciences, i have my defense this fall. I am afraid that I might have less/inconclusive results for my defense and keep wondering if the committee will suggest to take one extra semester which if happens will make it three full years for my graduation. I am afraid if I apply for jobs in industry, pharma, biotech companies, they might be unhappy with the time I took to complete my masters. Has this happened to anyone else that they had to extend their masters to more than 2 years? (MS in US)

Hey everyone!

I’m an undergrad student in my second year of Biotechnology, and I’m looking to expand my knowledge beyond what we cover in class. Could anyone recommend some essential or useful books for the program?

I’d appreciate any suggestions—whether they cover core topics, lab techniques, or general reference material. Thanks in advance!

I'm 26M from India. I have post graduation degree in Biotechnology and I have 1.5 years work experience in a Biotech research services company as Research Associate. I have done countless times of DNA isolation, PCR, Electrophoresis, Phylogenetic tree construction, RNA isolation, Reverse transcriptase PCR. I have good knowledge and certificates in Bioinformatics, Python and R. I would like to get a job with a good compensation and work environment.

I need suggestions on :

1. What more skills should I learn
2. Which company should I aim for and what designation I should apply for
3. What salary package can I ask for
4. Is there any chance that AI will takeover the job market

I'm currently working in the same company and I will resign once I get a good opportunity.

I have some questions regarding a design in microfluidics that i want to implement, i have basic knowledge in microfluidics , i want someone ( offcourse paid by hour ) to help me , do you know anyone ?

Does entering into pharmaceutical industry with a Mpharm in pharmaceutical analysis help us secure a good paying analyst job? If yes how well should i be trained during my PG studies and does it have a promising career growth with increase in pay? Also to enter industry, contacts and connections are the only way or is there other way around? I am from South India, where not much industries are around, how does job hiring work in India in this analytical field?

Currently I'm in my final year of Bsc in biotech, what should I go for next? Are the entrance exams tough? What will be a safe score? How should I prepare? I'm just a bit clueless atp, any help would really be appreciated.

I’m graduating this semester from biotechnology (in the UAE). our major included many fields like genetics, microbiology, and environmental biotech, and now I’m trying to figure out which field I like most, so I can either start working or continue with a master’s.

For biotech graduates, how did you find your field of interest? What did you do after graduation?

I’m in my second year of biotech, and honestly, I’m not sure how to feel about it. Lab work just doesn’t feel like it’s for me. I can’t picture myself spending my career doing research, lab reports, or being in a lab all day. What I do enjoy is being in hospitals, interacting with patients, and having that hands-on experience.

My first choice was medicine, but I’m not sure if I want to commit to med school after I graduate now. I feel really stuck. My parents are supportive of my current major, and they’ve made it clear that they’d only be okay with me changing if it’s to something ‘better.’ I don’t want to let them down, but I also don’t want to stay in a field that doesn’t feel right for me. If I were to stay in this major, I’d like to find a way to work in hospitals and interact with patients and not be in a lab all day. Any tips?

I guess I’m just lost on what to do next. Has anyone been in a similar situation? How did you figure out the right path for you?

Thanking for taking a look.

I took 3 A-levels between Maths, biology and chemistry and I was able to get an A in all three subjects and I want to work in my family business which produces cosmetic products in the future. What do you think I should study? Here are some additional things I would like to know about course too if you wouldn’t mind answering

• what is considered the easiest
• what is the difficulty jump from high school to those uni courses

I’m aware that this sub is the biotechnology sub and I’m asking about other courses too so I apologize if this does not align with the sub rules.

So today I was explained a potential bioterrorism method combining CRISPR and DREADDs by a fellow neuroscience major friend. I am interested now and would like to do reading on this issue specifically, stuff like analysis on how easy it is to do, what are the economics of it, and some risk assessments. However, I don't have background in biology let alone biotech, I am a Physics and Math double major. Is there any potential reading that I could do that would be beneficial for me while not being drowned in complex jargon? I've also asked this on ChatGPT and was given the following links:

Would these cater to my needs? I know I might be asking too much but any help will be really appreciated!
