How do I become a genetic engineer in the US?
study biology, biochemistry, molecular bio in college, go to graduate school for molecular biology/biotechnology. Get a phd, post doc in a lab that is constructing new genes and inserting them in other living things for practical and commercial application… get a job.
How can i become a genetic engineer?
im a high school senior and i wanted to be a genetic engineer for a long time now but i dont know were to start i need help ......wat do i have to major in college? wat are sum good colleges, looking for one in the state of new york. how long will it take for me to get my first degree? and im looking for scholarships i leave in long island so if any body finds this question that works in this profession can you contact me if you will be able to mentor me 347-2747-645
What should I do to become a genetic engineer ?
Hey,It's pretty general that to become genetic engineer, you must do B.Tech Genetic engineering. You can also do B.Tech biotechnology to develop broader concept of genetic engineering and then do MSc in genetic engineering.I hope I was helpful. Please do comment or ping me here for further queries.
What should I do to become a genetic engineer after class 12th?
Genetic Engineering, in simple words, is a laboratory technique used by scientists to change the DNA (Deoxy ribo Nucleic Acid) of living organisms.This wonderful branch of engineering or science enables the human minds to interfere in and modify the processes of life, birth death and even offers escape from certain congenital diseases. There is great scope in this field as the demand for genetic engineers is growing both in India and abroad.Eligibility CriteriaAn individual aspiring for a career in genetic engineering can start the BTech course after his/her 10+2 Science with Physics, Chemistry, Maths and Biology.Admission to B.Tech in Genetic Engineering/Biotechnology/ Biochemical Engineering is made generally through entrance tests. SRM University offers a B.Tech program in Biotechnology with a specialization in Genetic Engineering.One can also pursue three-year degree course in Genetics / Biological Science / Life Science / Biotechnology subjects and then go for post graduation (MSc) in genetics.One who desires for further study and research can pursue M.Tech and PhD in genetic engineering offered by few institutes in India including the IITs.Career and Job ProspectsIn India, there are several sectors that give employment to genetic engineers and professionals so a career in genetic engineering is promising.Medical IndustryAgricultural sectorResearch and Development Departments of Government, Semi-Government and Private Sectors.Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology IndustriesThese industries offer the best career opportunities to genetic engineers and professionals with handsome salaries apart from other perks and benefits.
How to become an engineer?
Graduating high school with just a couple AP tests won't make you an engineer; you usually need to go through university to do that. First you have to find out what type of engineering you're interested in. Do you want to become a civil engineer? Electrical? Software? Biomedical? Mechanical? There are many different disciplines of engineering. Most engineering fields, however, do require a heavy mathematical background, as well as some division of physics or chemistry. For example, an electrical, computer, or software engineer would need to know about circuitry, electricity, magnetism, etc. However, a mechanical engineer would be more inclined to know about thermodynamics, stress/flows, liquid volumetric flow rate, etc.
What is the process of becoming a genetic engineer?
What does one have to do to become a genetic engineer at a top institution/to work in a top research setting? What educational background do you need to have before you can get such a position? (only serious answers please)
What kind of degree do I need to become a genetic engineer?
Straight offa da web:To become a genetic engineer, the bare minimum education requirement will be a bachelor's degree in biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology, or molecular genetics. However, in most cases it will be much more beneficial to have a master's or doctorate level degree in molecular genetics or molecular biology instead.In my last workplace, they had 10 (or 11, can’t remember) genetic engineers - they all had doctorate degrees. One of them had two.
Is maths very important to become a genetic engineer?
Where-ever, you find the word, *engineering*, but rest assured, that you will be needing math. Math is the backbone of Engineering. Without being proper in math, one may be able to pass out college, but life after that will get tough. Doesn't matter the branch. Math is common to everyone.
