• Specialty and super specialty hospitals
• Private practice in own clinics
• As Fitness trainer in Gym
• In sports team
• As an Academician in colleges
• Lots of demand in foreign countries

MICROBIOLOGY

Microbiology is a basic as well as applied biological science. As a basic biological science, it has an important role to play in understanding the life processes, genetic basis of regulation, evolution of life on earth planet, processes in function during evolution and astrobiology. Weather it is food production or food preservation, diagnosis of disease or its prevention and treatment, petroleum exploration or production, disposal of industrial waste or its bioremediation, prevention of contamination/ reclamation or fertilization of soil, recycling of elements, microbiologist has a vital role to play. Graduates in this department are given thorough practical oriented training in various fields of microbiology to make them competent enough to plan and work independently.

Biotechnology & Biochemistry

The advantage of studying this degree course is that the candidate can further pursue higher studies (Masters level) in specialized field of sciences i.e. Biotechnology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Plant Molecular Biology, Medical Biotechnology etc.

• The candidates can also go for Master’s in Clinical Research
• Master’s in Business Administration (Biotechnology) and Law (IPR & Biotechnology).
• Sales/marketing executives in companies manufacturing microbiological media/diagnostic kits or biotechnological products

M Sc (Biotechnology) & M Sc (Biochemistry)

A postgraduate in M Sc Biotechnology and M Sc Biochemistry

• Higher studies (PhD) by seeking Junior Research Fellowship and further may take up the job of Assistant Professor in University/ Colleges.
• Berth in industrial research in applied aspect such as in Bioprocess Technology, Enzyme Technology, Waste Treatment Technology, Environmental Technology, Enzyme Technology, Plant and Animal Farming, Agriculture, Healthcare, Bioinformatics, Marine Biology and Industrial Biotechnology.
• Biochemist/Biotechnologist in distilleries/wineries/beverage industries/petroleum exploration industries
• R&D personnel as well as Marketing/Business Executives in companies manufacturing microbiological biotechnological products/ culture media/diagnostic kits and various type of experimental kits used in genetic engineering/ immunology etc.

Medical Lab Technology

Medical Laboratory Technologists are like detectives. By taking samples of patients' tissues and bodily fluids, and carefully testing them, they help doctors detect and diagnose illness. They use microscopes, chemical analyzers and other high-tech instruments to carry out tests.

Medical Laboratory Technologists work in

• Hospitals
• Private sector medical laboratories
• Pharmaceutical firms and research institutes
• A few work in police forensic laboratories.

Related Jobs or other employment areas:

• Cytotechnologist
• Health care and special assistance
• Scientific research and development services
• Educational services
• Chemical manufacturing

Future Prospects

The future of a medical lab technician looks bright because:

• There is a need for Medical Laboratory Technologists in both cities and smaller communities.
• Demand is increasing because our growing and aging population requires more health services.
• New technologies improve the ability to diagnose disease.
• Governments are increasing funding for health care
• The present population of Medical Laboratory Technologists is aging and a large number will be retiring in the next 5-10 years, opening up a large number of jobs.

Medical Microbiologist

Microbiology has tremendous scope and a very bright future. Students who are pursuing their career as a Microbiologist, golden opportunities await for you. Some of the best scientific research jobs are in available in the field of Microbiology.

SCOPE AND CAREER PROSPECTS FOR A MICROBIOLOGIST:

• Teaching: If you are interested in teaching as a profession and if you are interested to pursue your masters degree, and you are basically a science student, then microbiology is the best suited to pursue a masters in. Teaching is a noble profession, and the returns after completing your study is tremendous.
• Research Scientist: Research is a never ending field and thus one can take up research. As a research scientist a microbiologist can work in universities, institutions, industries, hospitals, government organizations and carry out research in laboratories.
• Clinical Associate: One can get into clinical research as clinical coordinator or clinical trials administrator and later on generally qualify to move on to a full clinical research associate position.
• Clinical Microbiologist: Clinical microbiologist assist the treating team of doctors with the investigations, diagnosis and treatment of disease. That analyze and interpret data related to patient samples.
• Toxicologist: Microbiologists are employed as toxicologists in investigatory laboratories. They plan and carry out laboratory and field studies to identify, monitor and evaluate the impact of toxic materials and radiations on human and animal health, and on the health and current status of the environment, as well as the impact of future technologies.
