What is Genetic Engineering?

Genetic Engineering is the branch of advanced science, which is concerned with the wide range of scientific techniques that are applied in order to purposely change the genetic structure in the DNA code of a living life form so as to create newer and better beings.



Applications of Genetic Engineering:

• Medical – Genetic engineering in the field of medicine is used in manufacturing drugs. The concepts of genetic engineering have been applied in doing laboratory research and in gene therapy.
• Agriculture – In Agriculture, genetic engineering is used to create genetically modified crops or genetically modified organisms in order to produce genetically modified foods.
• Research – Scientists uses the genetic engineering in their various researches. Genes from various organisms are converted into bacteria for storage and modification, creating genetically modified bacteria.

Scope of Genetic Engineering in India and abroad:

• After pursuing courses in genetic engineering, you can work in medical and pharmaceutical industries, research and development departments, agricultural sector, genetic engineering firms, chemical companies, etc.
• A genetic engineer can work in both private and public sectors. Genetic engineering graduates are required in government as well as private organizations.
• The graduates of this field can also opt teaching as a career. Numerous colleges are introducing genetic engineering course in their colleges and for that they recruit professionals of this field.

Top Recruiter:

• The National Institute of Immunology, Delhi
• The Centre for DNA Fingerprint and Diagnostics, Hyderabad
• The Institute of Genomic and Interogative Biology, Delhi
• Biochecmical Engineering Research and Process Development Centre, Chandigarh

Salary:

Salary packages of a genetic engineer are based on qualification, experience, working area, etc. You can get a handsome salary package after gaining the sufficient experience in this field.

The average salary of a well-qualified genetic engineer is Rs. 20,000 to 35,000 per month. They can earn more in the private sector as compared to the public sector.


All the best!

I hope this helps!
