19. Our Uniqueness

The Bachelor of Science (Industrial Biology) is a BIOTECHNOLOGY-based program designed to grant a strong academic foundation in biological sciences and chemistry, training in the various biotechnologies and a solid understanding of their application in industry and biomedicine.With the aim of using living organisms, cells and their component parts for products and services, the curriculum is designed to contribute to the modern biotechnology education that provides multidisciplinary knowledge. It also reflects the broad spectrum of bioengineering concept as well as skills to accomplish the needs of biotechnological based industries and also research institutes. As biotechnology is the key of this program, we offer courses that integrate knowledge with the elements of blue biotechnology (environmental biotech), white biotechnology (industrial biotech), green biotechnology (agri-biotech) and red biotechnology (biopharma). These include gene and protein engineering technology, fermentation technology, bioprocess engineering, enzyme technology, plant and animal cell/tissue culture technology and biosensor technology. These technologies are applied in agriculture, health care, forensics, industrial processing and environmental protection / management in many useful ways.
