About B.Tech
Industrial Biotechnology
Industrial
Biotechnology targets to enable the engineers to utilize biotechnology for
various industrial applications like the manufacturing of new products and
biomaterials, obtain alternative energy and biofuels. This branch of science
blends the principles of biology and chemistry by using living organisms like
bacteria and enzymes for productive developments in the industrial sector.
The
industrial biotechnology community accepts an informal divide between the
fields of industrial and pharmaceutical biotechnology. There are two different
views pertaining to Industrial Biotechnology. One holds that this is simply an
industrial production whereas the other states that Industrial Biotechnology
will not strictly lie within the domain of pure industrial production, given
its inclusion within medical biotechnology.
