Course description

Animal biotechnology applies genetic engineering, cloning, and molecular biology to improve animal health, productivity, and reproduction. It aids in developing disease-resistant livestock, enhancing growth rates, and producing biopharmaceuticals. Techniques like transgenics and stem cell research contribute to medical and agricultural advancements. This field plays a vital role in veterinary medicine, food production, and biomedical research.

What will i learn?

• To define basic laboratory equipment used for animal cell culture along with different types of cell cultures.
• To understand techniques, involve in creating transgenic animals and biopharming.
• To differentiate among various gene transfer methods such as retrovirus mediated gene delivery, Embryonic stem cell mediated gene transfer and microinjection.
• To analyze animal production technologies for sustainable agriculture and food security.
• To apply animal biotechnology in human health such as recombinant therapeutics and production of pharmaceuticals.
