Biotechnology for the Non-Biotechnologist
Dates: 3 - 4th November 2010
Venue: Biopolis, Singapore
In collaboration with
Biotechnology and life sciences are of growing concern to many professionals who do not necessarily have any formal training in biology or an adequate personal knowledge base.
The need for literacy in modern biology among non-scientists is recognized in many domains, in particular in the pharmaceutical industry where biologics have started playing an important role a long time ago and where increasingly sophisticated biomolecular constructs, gene, RNA and cell therapies, nanobiotechnologies, organ regeneration and synthetic biology will clearly occupy an important place in a not so distant future.
Biotechnologists are not necessarily biologists. Indeed, biotechnology is becoming more and more trans-disciplinary in nature with the rapid and massive emergence of new hybrid technologies that combine medicine, agriculture, environmental sciences, robotics, informatics, engineering, and modern biology. Yet, without a basic, yet sound understanding of the latter, it is impossible to fully comprehend these hybrid technologies, nor have any critical outlook on their practical consequences.
This 2 day course will make you a competent biotechnologist by helping you gain literacy in molecular biology and serving as a springboard for further self-directed learning at any point in time in the future.
