You CAN make a difference
The science of biotechnology is used to alter geneticinformation in animals and plants to improve them in
some way that benefits people.
Analysts predict that biotechnology will be one of the mostimportant applied sciences of the 21st century.
Biotechnology uses living cells and materialsproduced by cells to create pharmaceutical,diagnostic, agricultural, environmental, andother products to benefit society.
Because biotechnology uses basic ingredients of life tomake new products, it is both cutting-edge
technology and an applied science.

High growth scientific careers
As companies search for new products, the need for researchstaff expands. It takes 10-15 years to bring a biotech productthrough clinical trials and into the marketplace. Manycompanies formed in late 1980s and early 1990s now haveproducts that are nearing clinical and/or commercial
manufacturing.Some of the largest companies are expanding their productbase, and therefore, their manufacturing capacity. Over thenext two years, the demand for qualified manufacturing
personnel will continue to increase.
