The word «Biotechnologist» comes from a combination of the Greek words «bios» — life, «techne» — skill, art and «logos» — teaching. This fully reflects the activities of the biotechnologist.

Biotechnology experts skillfully use living biological organisms, their systems and processes, using scientific methods of genetic engineering. Their aim is to create new products, plants, vitamins, medicines, as well as to improve the properties of existing species in plant and animal environments that are resistant to adverse climatic conditions. conditions, pests and diseases. In medicine, biotechnologists play an invaluable role in creating new drugs for the early diagnosis and successful treatment of the most complex diseases.

The functional responsibilities of a biotechnologist depend on the industry in which he works.

Depending on the industry where the biotechnologist works, his job responsibilities will depend. However, regardless of the place of work, the biotechnologist begins his work with the preparation of the necessary reagents, solutions, semi-products. He controls the quality of products and keeps a journal.

This specialist can produce biologically active substances. Process raw materials, while using microorganisms, enzymes, cell cultures of plants and animals.

A biotechnologist can also engage in research activities. These are methodological developments and discoveries in the field of genetic or cellular engineering.

If a specialist protects the environment from pollution, which is not unimportant at the present time, then his duties will be directed to the biological treatment of wastewater, contaminated areas, disposal of industrial or household waste.

Educational institutions also require knowledge of a biotechnologist. Here he can engage in teaching biological disciplines and share professional experience with future colleagues — biotechnologists.

As in any profession, there are pros and cons.

Specialists in biotechnology are extremely popular at present, and in the future they will be in demand even more, since biotechnology is a profession of the future and it will have rapid development. In the future, the biotechnology profession will be in demand in other sectors of human activity that do not even exist or are only in the process of formation.

The advantages include the prestige of the profession and its ambiguity, that is, the possibility of employment in related professions in various organizations (see places of work) as a genetic bioengineer, bioprocess engineer, lipid biotechnologist, protein biotechnologist, pharmaceutical biotechnologist, cell and tissue bioengineer.

Biotechnologists work closely with foreign research institutes. Russian scientists are in high demand, so you can make a good career abroad.

As for the minuses, here you can see not always justified negative attitude of the public and part of the scientific world to genetic engineering products.

I like my future profession and I am going to be a good specialist.
