Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology
Expectations and Achievements
|
Recently the scientists have successfully reached the first step in
human cloning. Mapping the total human genome has been completed. This
genetic map is said to be the second most important scientific
achievement all over the world during the last century. The first one
was the landing of men on the moon. Now a days barely week passes
without news of new genetic discovery or a new way of applying
biotechnology in the news media. Such news is enough to make on
interested to take up higher studies in this subject.
Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology is a very new subject in our
University. As the students of new batch of a new department, we knew
that we might have to face lots of problems like shortage of books and
laboratory instruments and so on. But the fact was quite different. The
facilities that we have found in this department are beyond our
expectations. We are really very lucky, because the best teachers of the
department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology took all our classes.
All these teachers are very helpful to us. We are allowed to use and
borrow books from the library and even from the teachers. Laboratory
instruments are also available. We think that we are enjoying more
facilities and extra care from the teachers than the students of any
other department.

We are very proud to be in this department. Because, we believe that,
Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology is the most prospective subject of
the present world and it will dominate over any other subjects in this
new era. Bangladesh is developing country. We have a great demand for
genetic engineer and bio-technologists. It is a science, which has a
very wide field of its application. Scientists have already identified
the genes, responsible for many fatal diseases. We can also use our
knowledge in the field of agriculture and industries to increase our
food production and build up a prosperous Bangladesh.
We got ourselves admitted in this department with the immense hope about
the future. Now we are looking forward to fulfill all our hopes and
expectations.
