PhD Programme description

Biotechnology is the use and exploitation of organisms and biological processes for the benefit of industry, society and the environment. The biotechnological potential of animals, plants and microorganisms is vast, particularly through the use of advancing genomic technologies. There are many applications of biotechnology such as the development of novel medicines and healthcare products, through to the genetic manipulation of crops and algae for providing food security and bioenergy, and the use of plant and microbes for environmental engineering such as bioremediation. Biotechnology is a core strength of the Faculty of Science and Engineering at Manchester. Biotechnology research within the School includes the genetic engineering of plants, bioremediation of terrestrial and aquatic environments, biofuels and bioproducts from plants, algae and microorganisms, environmental biotechnology, bioinformatics.

Scientist unplugged 10 Defense machanism in Bacteria

By
VIRAL ATTACK   Viruses called phages (shown landing on the surface of a cell in this transmission electron micrograph) can infect and kill bacteria. Scientists have just found a slew of new defense mechanisms that help bacteria resist such assaults. Credit: Sciencenews Since long decade researcher are looking for new defense mechanism in bacteria against viral invaders. There is only and alone immune system of bacteria "CRISPR" which protects bacteria from virus attacks. Now recent research of researcher have discovered TEN set of genes which protects which protects bacteria from virus invaders, A Microbiologist from university of California, San Diego's, Joseph bondy Denomy says the inventions Doubles the protective mechanism of immune system known in bacteria. Bacteria are vulnerable to deadly virus called bacteriophages which uses the bacterial genetic machine for there own purposes and replicate itself and produce viral DNA. Meny of the bacteria are la...

Imagine world without Biotechnology ?

By
Over the past Two years, I have always wondered and surprised how life would be without the massive Biotechnological inventions of today. Perhaps everyone wonders the same thing. We are in the 21st century! Yeah, I am supposed to embrace biotechnology, it's something that is inborn, something that I found and cannot imagine my life without. But what would I do without this precious gift? Life back in the day would be a nightmare. Ideally, much of the paper will focus on how life would be without biotechnology by basing the argument on all spheres of life. Imagine living in a world where Biotechnology didn’t exist. That Antibiotics, you have, Computers you’re reading on, or even that nice Food you Eat, all gone with a single blink of an eye. From cultured meat to a “MicrobeMiner” for antibiotics and liquid biocomputers, a new wave of consumer biotechnology products is transforming the world. The world you would be living in would be nothing but an empty, dark and cold...
