While neuroscience has only recently been recognised as a scientific discipline in its own right, it represents perhaps the fastest expanding area of current scientific endeavour. With the advent of the Human Genome Project mankind has been able to map our genetic makeup. This groundbreaking achievement will lead to the development of many new jobs in both the fields of pure biotechnology and drug development. Now that the human genome has been mapped it is possible to detect erroneous gene segments associated with various genetic disorders (such as Huntington disease) and with this knowledge try and develop more effective treatments for the many devastating disorders. Apart from simple cures, The Wellcome Trust, a massive sponsor of medical research within the British Isles, has suggested that the completion of Human Genome Project will open the door to individualised medicines. So instead of developing a single drug to cure all people drugs can be targeted to different genetic groups with much greater ease. The aging population of both the US and the UK has lead to increased interest in disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson disease, and other age related disorders. These ailments will become more and more relevant to everyone in society, even those not directly affected, as the cost of caring for the elderly patients skyrockets. Massive amounts of money have, and will continue to be, invested in research in these areas until better treatments are developed.

What Can I Do with a Degree in Microbiology? Careers in Microbiology can be as diverse as the microbial world. With so many current advances in the field of microbiology and molecular genetics, the door is wide open for graduates with Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees. Preparation for advanced degrees is certainly one aspect of the Major, but opportunities await as research assistants, quality control managers, production managers, and sales representatives in biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Other areas, such as public health, management, teaching, forensics and law enforcement, bioethics, bioinformatics, and patent law, are examples of the variety of career opportunities for microbiologists. What about an advanced degree? A doctoral degree (Ph.D.) is necessary for a career in research. Ph.D. recipients can go into either academia or industry. Teaching science at the college level (i.e. community college) often requires a doctoral degree. A Master’s Degree is not necessary for admission into a Ph.D. program, however, the demand for Master’s level microbiologists in industry is on the rise, according to

Careers in Biotechnology Biotechnology is one of the most exciting fields today. Essentially, it is the use of living organisms, particularly micro-organisms, in industrial processes. Biotechnology has been used for years in baking, brewing and cheese making, but the industry has been revolutionised in recent years by advances in genetics and genetic engineering. Specially designed micro-organisms are now used to produce a wide variety of drugs and other chemicals, to refine ores and clear up oil slicks. Crops too have been engineered to produce high yielding varieties. The film Jurassic Park was a fictional story about genetic engineering but scientists in biotechnology are actually challenging nature in many ways. Biotechnology is a young science, with limitless possibilities. Since it is a new science, there is possibility of fruitful research which may yield benefits to the human race in times to come. Broadly speaking, it combines two or three sciences and is concerned with three fields: health and medicine, agriculture and animal husbandry and industry.

Almost everyone will be affected by applications of information and technologies derived from the HGP era of the late 20 th century. Entirely new approaches will be implemented in biological research and the practice of medicine and agriculture. Genetic data will provide the foundation for research in many biological subdisciplines, leading to an unprecedented understanding of the inner workings of whole biological systems. The benefits of genomic research are, or soon will be realized in such areas as forensics and identification science, ecology and environmental science, toxic-waste cleanup, creation of new bioenergy sources and more efficient industrial processes, and understanding the mysteries of evolution, anthropology, and human migration.

Genetic Information in the Workplace The Use of Genetic Information and the Law ... Suggested Readings In 1990, the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Energy formally launched the Human Genome Project, an enormous multi-year undertaking with an unparalleled mission: to develop a complete map of human DNA, the blueprint of human life. By 2003, or perhaps earlier, the Human Genome Project will have mapped each of the human body's 23 chromosomal pairs, involving nearly 100,000 genes and roughly three billion chemical sequences. Hardly a month goes by without the release of new findings about the human genome. Frequently, these discoveries are related to the links between certain genetic mutations and human disease. The use of this genetic information holds out promise for the early diagnosis, treatment and even prevention of many human diseases. At the same time, there is widespread concern about the potential for misuse of this genetic information. In April 1995, for instance, a Harris poll of the general public found that 86% of those surveyed indicated they were very concerned or somewhat concerned that insurers and employers might have access to and use genetic information.

What a challenge! How can biology instructors provide accurate guidance on preparing for a career in biology when it is the most diverse and rapidly changing of all the scientific fields? Training in biology prepares an individual for a very large number of occupations. Consider the following, which represent less than 10% of the identified occupational categories related to life science: agronomy, biophysics, developmental biology, environmental law, forensic entomology, forestry, genetic counseling, immunology, medical practice, molecular biology, neurobiology, secondary school teaching, systematics, veterinary medicine. Some of these deal exclusively with molecules and cells, others concern entire ecosystems; some involve daily interaction with dozens or hundreds of people, others can be done in complete isolation; some are narrowly specific, others require knowledge far beyond science.

Home Undergraduate Careers Careers Introduction Although many jobs are concerned at least in part with research, not all of the work is confined to laboratories. Research may take place anywhere in the world. Some biological scientists spend time in the far corners of the globe in forests, mountains, plains, deserts, oceans and river. Individual interested in both biology and such fields as law, politics or engineering, might well profit from a degree in biology and then one in the other area and thereby enter such fields as environmental law, biological engineering or global conservation. At present, there is a great demand for biology teachers at the secondary school level. Biologists are also needed in museums or zoos as curators or educational coordinators. Other biologists are employed as consultants, technical writers (preparing pamphlets, articles, or news releases related to the life sciences), biological illustrators, scientific photographers, or in public relations. The largest number of biological scientists employed in private industry are in fields related to foods, pharmaceuticals and genetic engineering. Genetic engineering is a rapidly growing field, impacting many areas including agriculture and medicine. Other biologists are concerned with water treatment and purification, pollution controls, habitat restoration (such as reforesting or re-establishment of wetlands), protection (e.g., the rain forests) or preservation of endangered species.
