The term of Biotechnology is generally used to describe the use of biology in industrial processes such as agriculture, brewing and drug development. The term also refers to the production of genetically modified organisms or the manufacture of products from genetically modified organisms. It involves the use of plants, animals and micro-organisms to create products or processes. Traditional applications include animal breeding, brewing beer with yeast and cheese making with bacteria. Recent developments include the use of enzymes or bacteria in a wide range of applications, including waste management, industrial production, food production and remediation of contaminated land. Modern biotechnology, Molecular Biotechnology, also includes the use of gene technology, which allows the major to move genetic material from one species to another. Biotechnology combines disciplines like genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, embryology and cell biology.
Molecular Biotechnology focuses on the study of regulation and function of genes at the levels of DNA, RNA, and protein in living organisms. Biotechnology aims to expand its usefulness by identifying and cloning new genes and traits, developing new diagnostic tests and continuing to use these tools to better understand plants, animals and microorganisms that make up the world.
Undergraduate students who major in biotechnology have a chance to find meaningful positions in biotechnology companies, research centers or graduate school.
Department of Biological Chemistry
The Department of Biological Chemistry (BioChem) is named from the Department of Agricultural Chemistry that has been established in 1962. BioChem provides innovative basic and applied sciences for biological and chemical approaches to agriculture food, and environment in Korea and around the world.
BioChem education programs focus on preparing future leaders of agriculture, life sciences and bio-industry through a multi-disciplinary approach based on applied science of biology and chemistry and an emphasis on experimental learning.
Graduates are able to find meaningful employment in agricultural companies related to pesticides and fertilizers, academic schools and institutes related to environmental and biological research, national institutes related to agricultural areas, industrial companies related to pharmaceutical areas, and national institutes related to analytical and toxicological areas.
Major in Food Science and Technology
Food science and Technology emphasizes the study of food technological issues related to human health and the food industry. The undergraduate program trains students as food biologists and engineers armed with chemical, microbiological, and biological fundamentals and engineering methodology for a comprehensive understanding of the physiochemical properties of foods, processing and preservation of food materials, and other biotechnological applications.
Graduates may find employment in food and related industries, federal and state governments, and universities. Specific careers may include researchers, quality assurance personnel, food inspectors, technical salespersons and consultants, and meat and dairy employees.
