From medicine to environmental protection to advances in food and agriculture production, the world needs sustainable solutions. You could help create them. Work as a professional in one of the most exciting growth areas in science – Biotechnology.
Biotechnology is changing the world around us and is considered the growth technology of the 21st Century – with job opportunities to match. It is an exciting field of science that combines aspects of medicine and biology.
The possible applications are almost endless – from the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases and improved production of therapeutic agents to the development of enhanced crop species, transgenic organisms for new drugs, biosensors for environmental pollutants and improved waste treatment processes.

We partner with industry (multinationals and local start-up companies), government, university, and researchers with interests in biotechnology product development.
We are working with international industries that have interest in developing functional foods, proteins, and animal free fats to meet potential emerging market demands.
Some of our parners are:
Our research, conducted by an internationally renowned faculty, addresses major global problems facing humanity. More than 90% of our research was rated as “world standard” in the 2018 ERA assessment.
Research work in the second year of MBTL has impact in the following biotechnology areas:
