Biotechnology Advanced at St Lawrence College at Kingston

The Biotechnology Advanced program at St. Lawrence College is a predominantly hands-on, laboratory, and practical based course. Students perform genetic assays, investigate contaminated soil and water, determine food-borne illnesses, clone for proteins, ferment antibiotics, and create plant hybrids.

According to Statistics Canada, Biotechnology is one of the fastest growing global industries with Canada providing a strong and growing employer base in the biotech sector necessitating the demand for well-trained laboratory personnel. This program employs contemporary molecular biology, microbiology, immunology, chemistry, biochemistry, fermentation and protein technology, applied genetics, cell culture, environmental and analytical instrumentation labs that offer practical training in all aspects of biotechnology with a focus on the hands-on applied skills that ensure students are ready for immediate integration into the work force. The final 14-week semester of the program is dedicated to providing a real-world learning opportunity by placing students in a research or industrial work site as an entry-level Biotechnologist.
