0
I am studying B.E biotech engg at a University in dubai and I am want to do PS (practice school; we have to work as interns in a company related to biotech/pharma/diagnostics for a couple of months after 2nd year of our course) in India. 
Actually about 10-12 people from my batch want to. 

The problem is: I am supposed to search for such a company which will accept 2nd year students as intern for a couple of months in india.

Do u guys know any such companies? Is there any way by which I can communicate with such potential companies?

Nano Genetic Technologies - Cure to all that Ails us? Please Help.

Hello all,

I am doing rewrites for a novel which I've nearly completed.  My premise deals with the future of nano-technology, especially in genetics.  
My question is this, what is the path which biotechnologies will need to take in order to achieve ceasing cellular breakdown.  In my novel I have posited that we will some day be able to completely stop cellular breakdown, so man will reach his/her prime and in real time from that theoretical "full grown" point, cells wouldn't breakdown so you'd have a society where no one aged.  The reason would be SOME nano technology implemented at birth which initiated rapid growth to accelerate the path to this "full grown" age and then stopped the progression.

Further, I posit that this theoretical nano technology would enable rapid repair of any damage to cellular structures, not just preventing cellular breakdown.  

If anyone can chime in, I would love some advice, perhaps even some resources to look into.  I have considered advancements with CRISPR CAS9 which I am unsure if these newer technologies if embedded in some far advanced Nano robot would be able to enable the above genetic editing in real time.  CRISPR CAS9 also appears to be geared towards Embryo's and not so much adult living tissues/cell structures. 

Thank You

Respected sir,

I have a question regarding vector DNA change . when some foreign gene (like gene for pest resistance) is inserted into a vector say agrobacterium tumefaciens  so as to transfer this gene into plants , doesn't it harm the mechanism of agrobacterium? Doesn't it make agrobacterium resistant ?
kindly assist me giving answer of this question.

Thank you

Scope of career in Biotech | Take it or leave it?

This article is aimed at busting the belief that Biotech has no scope! I keep reading people whining about their decision to opt for Biotechnology and being in a state of regret. Following article (rather a response to a member's query was actually written on 19-Dec-2015 at 06:21 AM by me, but somehow it didn't reach the intended audience in a sufficient way. So, I just decided to create a different thread for this response, so that it becomes an 'article/thread' than a mere 'response/post'.

If you find my comments legit, sharing it in your network will be helpful in creating an optimistic world!

And, if you don't agree with my thoughts, this thread is open for discussion/ opinions/ debate.

Let's go ahead and read the conversation:

"Below is the Quoted comment by 'prashantbt" about score of jobs/career in Biotech.
(12-19-2015, 03:26 AM)prashantbt Wrote: In India the condition of a biotech student is very poor, even after doing Ph.D., because in many government colleges, no vacancies of biotechnology (not as a subject). In pharma companies, they prefer B.Pharma and M.Pharma. Students have to work in marketing companies in very less amount. In higher studies no such good jobs. So please never suggest any one to this biotechnology subject.

"Following was my response"

Hi Prashant,

Whereas I do understand your disappointment, I strongly disagree with your way of looking into the scenario. Life is always like this: NO ONE GETS A CELEBRITY BEGINNING. It's the beginning that's always difficult.

There are lakhs of IT students who are sitting unemployed (does that mean that IT is a bad field to jump into?). 
There are huge number of civil engineering and mechanical engg people sitting at homes (does that make the field a bad one??)

At the same time, there are thousands of B.Tech, BSc, MSc, M.Tech passed people working in Biocon, Wockhardt, Praj, Nestle (and the names have no limit) who got there either right from their campuses or through some smart decision making "of earning an experience by joining a  "Low Paying" but related research project" and then joining the big firms (because BIG FIRMS DO LOOK FOR EXPERIENCE). Now are they out of this world? No, they were either from good colleges (which is also to their credit for smart work to get there) or they accepted the fact that they need to accept a low paying job to begin their journey to a better future ahead.

No one, (on an average basis) either from CS/IT/CIVIL/MECH/ELEC/BIOTECH gets a super job to begin with. Beginnings are always modest, what to make out of rest of your career is always dependent upon your vision for your career. One needs to plan to get to a position, nothing comes served to one's platter.

India has one of the largest employment in Biotech in entire world, because our country is crowded with Pharma companies (to serve generic drugs to the developing, middle class population), it is crowded with Food and Beverage companies (to feed the nation), it is crowded with Research Labs in all fields of Life Sciences (you will find a commercial research lab as well an academic research lab in almost every city!!), even IT companies are hiring Bioinfo people these days (I am Biochemical guy working in Computational Biosciences group of an MNC)! Point is that, there are plenty of opportunities, but they are not ready to serve. One needs to earn them. And the right way of earning a good job is: a) Work smart for getting admission to a good school or b) Work smart to join a low paying (even for free I would say), lab/company that suits your field and then use your experience and talent to crack the interview of the big firms (there are plenty of walkins for experienced candidates in every company).

In my circle, everyone is settling for a nice career despite a low level beginning. None of them started their career vehicle at 100 kmph, but yes they have reached a modest 60 by now  (2-3 years after beginning).

My point is: Don't curse the field. It exists because it has huge potential. There are people who are working in this field, and that's precisely the reason this field is going on. Don't just blindly add degrees to your resume. If getting a job is your priority, start working on it right after your undergraduate degree. Adding a pile of degrees/ qualifications won't help (unless you vouch for a better school for getting higher education).

There is this paradox existing in this field--People keep studying till PhD and then apply for jobs for which they are "Over-qualified" (companies have a policy of considering only Undergrads or post grads for a set of jobs, for which PhDs are obviously not going to be considered). It's an irony that Biotech is trending towards having huge numbers of PhDs every year and reason for that being the fear of not getting  a job after Undergraduate/Post grad studies (please shed your fears, if you wish for a job, try harder for a year for the same, you will get it!). 

I hope I conveyed my thoughts on this to some extent. Having said that, all these thoughts are my personal opinion and I firmly believe in it.

Nutshell: There are plenty of opportunities, but nothing will be served easy.

Best wishes

Sunil

fluorescence problem

Heloo!

          I am performing a membrane integrity test on Saphylococcus aureus using a mixture of two fluorochromes: propidium iodide and acridine orange. The cells grow in a MHB medium, washed and resuspended in PBS pH-7,2.
Acridine orange and propidium iodide were added to 100 µl aliquots of these cells, followed by incubation in the dark for 15 minutes.
           In the past this method worked, so the cells with damaged membrane were stained in red and the cells with intact membrane in green. In the past two  months this double staining  does not  work anymore, and I do not know why?!!!!  The  cells are no longer staind in green. In the best  case  the cells  have a low fluorescence.
I ve rebuilt stock solutions but nothing improved.
 It can be the PBS?
Do you have any idea how to solve or  find the problem? 
 I attached some pictures: S. aureus AO+PI (when the mixture work), S. aureus AO-PI DIC 1 and S. aureus AO-PI FLUO 1 (when the mixture did not work) - photos pair. I used DIC and FLUO to the same microscopic field to highlight that there are red cells and some green cells with a poor fluorescence and some cells with any fluorescence at all.
