BS Biotechnology

Pakistan is not a developed country and its 17% population falls under the poverty line. Food Inflations rate is drastically increasing because the demand of food is high. With the help of BS biotechnology in Pakistan biotechnologist can create better facilities of health and more food to overcome this poverty.

BS Biotechnology is combination of bio (life) and technology. The course gives information about biology, chemistry and math subjects. Course structure is designed to as follow

• Research Work
• Labs
• Projects
• Assessments

Biotechnologist work for the welfare of human needs. They manipulate the genomes and prepare medicines for humans. There are many universities in Pakistan that are offering BS biotechnology program.

Importance of Biotechnology

Biotechnologist manipulate the genomes of plants and animals to insert desired trait in them. For example Broiler is one of the invention of biotechnology that produces more chicken to overcome the need of chicken. Some people arises questions here that this food is not healthy as the original one. The thing is this engineering is done to overcome the food needs. There are many people in Pakistan who just eat one time in a day but if the food will be cheap they can buy more and at least can eat 3 times in a day.
