Stem cells, natural and synthesized pharmaceuticals, molecular biology and chemical instrumentation are among the most in-demand fields of scientific study today. Coupled with Fanshawe College's honours bachelor degree in Biotechnology, students will have eight semesters of academic study and at least four months of related co-op experience to prepare them for work in these exciting areas.
As a biotech degree student, they will develop skills in experimental design, statistical data analysis, bioinformatics, chemical analysis and handling microbial, plant, and animal material for genetic analysis. Throughout the biotechnology degree program, there will be a strong focus on how biotechnology relates to regulatory affairs, quality assurance, bioethics, and biohazard management.
In this biotechnology program, students will learn about plant and animal tissue culture, applied biotechnology methods including PCR and qPCR, microbiology, virology, DNA and RNA and protein and lipid purification and analysis, instrumental chemistry, and economic, ethical and environmental issues. During their four-month required co-op, they will hone their research skills and develop the interpersonal and communication expertise necessary for life beyond the degree.
