• As a budding biotechnologist, students will focus on how the fundamental biochemistry underlying biological systems works with innovations in genetics, immunology and bioinformatics.
  • To appreciate how solutions translate to commercial industrial scale, students will also need a good understanding of the core physical and chemical engineering principles pertaining to living cells.
  • DCUs Biotechnology degrees will furnish students with the science and engineering fundamentals to succeed in the emerging technology-driven biotech industry.
  • The technologies in this industry have made a real impact on humanity, and include the creation and manufacture of products that help in the diagnosis and treatment of disease (e.g. the production of antibiotics, insulin, and safer recombinant vaccines), and the provision of services to areas like healthcare, food, agriculture, energy and the environment.
