Essay On Biotechnology

984 Words2 Pages

STATEMENT OF INTENT The myriad mysteries of science can be unraveled by the emerging technologies including Biotechnology. Science has always been my interest and forte thus, the choice of Biotechnology as my academic option was the ideal decision. I had prepared for the highly competitive entrance exam AIET to get admission into the integrated Masters Degree in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics at Dr. D.Y. Patil University and secured 87th all over India rank and was proud to gain admission to this venerated university. The academic curriculum has introduced me to amazing subjects like ‘Microbiology’, ‘Molecular Biology’, ‘Biochemistry’, ‘Genetics’ and ‘Industrial Biotechnology’. Although many seminal biological events have been explained in theory during the past century, the technology to harness their potential for benefiting humankind has only been possible during the past few decades. This is testament to the great improvements in biotechnologies and I am glad to be a part of this grand scientific experience. Life as a student of Biotechnology held untold wonders and I enjoyed learning via the practical sessions in the lab, simply because I could actually implement everything I studied. At the same time, I also learned about the latest innovations in products and services using Biotechnology via courses such as ‘Commercial Aspects of Biotechnology’ and ‘Frontiers in Biotechnology’. My decision to pursue a MS in Drug regulatory Affairs is driven by my ambition to contribute to the industry, combined with my innate desire to discover and explore the subject. I would love to work under the areas of food science, microbiology, drug regulatory affairs, food and drug administration, and cell immunology. Biotechnology has the po... ... middle of paper ... ...to have an enriching educational and personal experience at the University of Northeastern. During the past several years, I have developed some unique skills and education in India. Although I am sure that I will obtain an excellent education at the University of Northeastern, I will bring my own skills, education and culture to your program. I am prepared to face the rigors and demands of a graduate program at the University of Northeastern. At the same time, I believe that I will have a unique cultural experience in the United States and get a chance to meet people from other parts of the world. I am sure that with dedication and hard work, man can achieve the unthinkable and cross the toughest of hurdles. With this spirit, I intend to carry on with my further education at the University of Northeastern. Vincy Thomas Fall 2014 http://www.cps.neu.edu/faculty/

    Threshold 5 tackles the beginning of life on Earth. This is where any living things are characterized by metabolism, homeostasis, and reproduction. Over time, the genetic makeup of any living thing change so later generations being slightly different. This results into diversification and the evolution of certain species that best suit their environment. However, threshold 5 also deals with the idea of dealing with the “natural world.” It may seem that the environment is almost entirely man-made but the “natural world” is still a huge part of the environment. This can be simple as the earth on the ground, the air that people breathe in, or even the sun that provides the heat and light to the planet. However, as human technology progresses the “natural world” becomes less and less apparent in the world today.

  • Essay On Genetic Engineering And Cloning

    621 Words  | 2 Pages

    Over the past few years scientists have been using cloning and genetic engineering. Cloning is the action of copying an organism’s (e.g. human) DNA and replicating it. This will give you exact twins. Genetic engineering is the process of adding new DNA to an organism manually. This is to add genes that were not in the organism originally. These two have some similarities but are not that alike. Most people make a fuss over both subjects saying it’s not right while others think it is an advance in technology and very useful. I am not fond of the ideas and think they can lead to big problems in our life.

    Modern technology has taken amazing strides in the past few years. We have changed the way we deal with food production, agriculture, and many other aspects of life.. Scientists have begun utilizing these advances in technology and knowledge to gain insight as to how the human species functions. They are on the verge of manipulating the way humans relate to the natural world. This revolutionary breakthrough is what is known as Genetic Engineering. Genetic Engineering is the process of manually adding new DNA molecules into an already existing organism. A simplified version of the process works by physically removing a gene from one organism and placing it into another. This is being done in an effort to

    Is genetic engineering right or wrong? To answer these questions we need to define genetic engineering. It is the use of biotechnology to control the genes of an organism. Genetic engineering isn’t new. It has been with us for centuries. In those days, we used it for agriculture and selective breeding of animals. Our pets, especially dogs and cats are good example of selective breeding.

  • Essay On Genetic Modification

    1178 Words  | 3 Pages

    Genetic modification is a process of altering the genetic material of an organism by the use of a method that does not occur in nature. Genetic modification involves isolating, removing and manipulating DNA, and then reinserting the DNA into the same organism or into the genetic material of another organism. Which then leads to the creation of a genetically modified organism (GMO). GMOs can be plants, animals or (most commonly) micro-organisms. The use of GMOs in agriculture is rapidly increasing, since it produces a greater yield in crops than the traditional way of farming. Even though the production of GMOs are increasing, that does not necessarily mean it is completely safe for us to consume, companies that produces genetically modified

  • Essay On Biogenetic Engineering

    1553 Words  | 4 Pages

    Biogenetic engineering is the ability to change or modify a genome of an organism through the use of biotechnology. We use this in order to add a new gene to an organism that it would originally would not contain. This creates a better suited organism to adapt to any form of change it may have to deal with. Biogenetic engineering works by physically entering the organism’s genome and removing it and inserting the genome into another organism this allows the organism that had received the new trait to express the new code. The steps for genetic engineering is by first finding an organism that contains a trait that is desired, then scientist will extract the DNA, then once the gene has been extracted it goes through gene cloning, this is the process in which the gene is located and copied from the different of genes that had been extracted, and sometimes the desired gene will be modified so that it will be able to perform desirelly within the organism, the transgene, which is the new gene, will be inserted into the organism, once inserted scientist will allow for breeding in order to perfect the desired gene. Biogenetic engineering allows for the manual transport of genes from one organism to the next. The genes that we use for bioengineering are beneficial since we are able to perfect this genes for an unlimited amount of usage. Bioengineering also allows a single or a few desirable genes to be inserted into an organism rather than breeding which has at times undesirable traits that might not be as beneficial to the organism as the gene that is being inserted manually in bioengineering.
