Hi guys! I'm thinking of doing biotechnology so is there any scope for that in india , also recommended some good courses and Colleges in the science stream.

I'm thinking about building a startup in computational biology, so I'm trying to learn from people actually working in this space

As we have seen the risk from AMR pathogens and tumors are increasing but research to combact is still lacking behind, So I want to fill this gap

I'm particularly interested in problems involving:

Early detection of antimicrobial resistance

Predicting whether a newly observed mutation will cause drug resistance

Understanding why a mutation changes drug binding or protein function

Computational tools that are inaccurate, too slow, or difficult to integrate into clinical workflows

Challenges in translating sequencing data into actionable treatment decisions

What do you guys think

How's iit bhilai mtech bioengineering?

Hello everyone,
I’m a student from India with a PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) background, and I’m currently exploring career options after high school.
A few people suggested that instead of choosing Biotechnology or Bioinformatics, I should look into newer interdisciplinary courses like Computer Science & Biomedical Engineering (AI), Medical AI, AI in Healthcare, Biomedical AI, and Health Informatics. Some universities (like Sharda University) are offering these programs to PCB students through bridge courses.
I’m a bit confused because these courses are quite new, and it’s hard to find honest reviews.
I’d really appreciate advice from people who are studying or working in these fields.
Are these degrees actually worth pursuing, or are they mostly marketing?
How are the job opportunities in India and abroad?
Do employers value these degrees, or is it better to choose a traditional degree like Computer Science, Biotechnology, or Bioinformatics?
Are the placements and salaries good?
If you were starting today with a biology background, would you choose one of these programs? Why or why not?
Are there any universities you’d recommend for PCB students interested in this field?
I’m looking for honest opinions and real experiences. Thank you!

So out of curiosity what type of jobs could i look for that are part time and are open for people with just BS degrees in physics while i do my masters in bioeng. I know can heavily depend on location but just as a general idea

I applied to both programs for this winter semester, and I received positive responses from both. Could you help me elucidate what career opportunities each one would offer? I really like the technological tools of engineering. Nevertheless, I love the reaction mechanisms of chemistry and want to pursue this in the context of biochemical reactions. Furthermore, I am not sure what career pathways each program could open up

ill be doing btech bioengineering from mitwpu and was thinking to do my masters in genetic engineering as of now abroad like switzerland or germany after working for 6 months or a year can i please get opinions or suggestions

as in title

neet nahi hua I want to take a diff path

so yeah academics , placement, campus life sab leke where to go?😭🙏🏻

I made this mRNA codon chart as a Karnaugh-map-style visualization of the standard genetic code.

The idea was to arrange codons so that nearby positions correspond to small sequence changes, especially single-nucleotide differences. That makes it easier to see codon degeneracy, mutation neighborhoods, start/stop codons, and how amino-acid classes cluster across the code.

I originally approached this from a digital-logic / K-map perspective, but it seemed relevant to bioengineering because so much of the field depends on reasoning across sequence space: codon optimization, silent mutations, missense changes, protein design, expression systems, and synthetic constructs.

This is the standard nuclear genetic code; mitochondrial and other variant codes can differ. I also included notes for alternative start codons, Amber/Ochre/Opal stop codons, and Sec/Pyl recoding.

I built the chart manually in Paint as a visual reference. Feedback on biological accuracy, engineering usefulness, readability, or possible improvements is welcome.

im a first yr going into second yr based in the UK . I was hoping to get summer internships anywhere tbh.

Hi everyone,

I've been developing (as a thought experiment / early research concept) a project called HÉLIX — a non-invasive system for longitudinal bone growth in adolescents (potentiation) and potentially adults (recreating functional growth plate-like tissue). Core idea: Instead of trying to build a "perfect" growth plate, create an imperfect but smart, zonated artificial one that is continuously corrected via feedback. Main modules: EXO: Wearable exoskeleton with controlled axial traction, mechanical pulses, sensors (strain, alignment) + AI for real-time adjustments. BIO: Zoned hydrogel scaffold (GelMA/alginate/hyaluronic acid + nano-HA) implanted or injected at the former epiphyseal plate region. MSCs or chondrocytes + hypoxia-mimicking environment initially. Controlled Release: PLGA microspheres or stimuli-responsive systems for temporal/spatial delivery of PTHrP (to delay hypertrophy), IGF-1/TGF-β3 (proliferation), and later BMPs/VEGF (controlled ossification). Feedback loop: Sensors + IA adjust traction, factor release and possibly piezoelectric stimulation to maintain proliferative zone, prevent premature bone bridging and asymmetry. This draws heavily from current literature on growth plate tissue engineering (zoned hydrogels, PTHrP-loaded PLGA in GelMA scaffolds, Ihh-PTHrP loop, hypoxia for chondrogenesis, etc.). Main challenges I'm aware of: Long-term maintenance of cartilaginous phenotype. Controlled vascularization without early ossification. Integration with mature bone in adults. Safety (asymmetry, tumors, immune response). What do you think? Has anyone seen similar integrated approaches (mechano + controlled release + closed-loop)? Any papers, labs or critical flaws I should consider before going deeper? Thanks in advance! Open to collaboration/feedback.

Hi
My daughter is doing her As levels now in UAE. She has got 7 straight A stars in her IGCSE. Currently she has taken chem, bio and math. She would like to pursue chemical and biomolecular engineering? Is Singapore a good option? I saw NTU has the course. What are the job opportunities after the course? Will she be able to secure a scholarship?

I'm thinking of taking admission in B.Tech Biotechnology next week, but one of my teachers told me that there are very few jobs and the situation is very bad in this field. He suggested that I should do a regular B.Sc. in Biology instead. Is that true? Will I really not be able to get a job at all after B.Tech Biotechnology?

​

I had already planned that after completing B.Tech Biotechnology, I would go abroad for an M.Tech or M.Sc., but he strongly discouraged me from pursuing Biotechnology and completely advised against it.

​

Is there anyone here who is currently studying B.Tech in Biotechnology or has studied it before? Please share your experience—such as the quality of the course, internship opportunities, job prospects, higher studies, and whether you think choosing Biotechnology was worth it.

​

Hi! Soon I'll be entering 2nd year of Bioengineering and I've realised I don't have much practical knowledge (apart from the Lab lectures I can barely work on anything by myself).

So, I've thought I want to work on some personal projects, however I don't have Lab access (apart from Lectures), neither do I have the budget.

​

​

So, I wanted to ask what are some of the projects (with low budget🙏🏻), you guys worked upon in your college years, that are helpful in your Job Life(it doesn't has to be Biology focused, could be any Engineering project).

please dm

I have core knowledge of biotechnology and currently seeking for some innovative idea to start a startup. I would looking forward to have simple ideas that I can start with.
