Mailing Address: 1601 Parkview Avenue Rockford, IL 61107 Contact Information: Campus Location: U of I College of Medicine at Rockford (815) 395-5794 Administration: Department Head: Ramaswamy Kalyanasundaram Director of Graduate Studies: Khalifah Sidik Program Codes: 20FS5020MS7 The University of Illinois College of Medicine at Rockford offers graduate training leading to the Master of Science in Medical Biotechnology degree. The program is administered by the Department of Biomedical Sciences. The Master of Science in Medical Biotechnology will train students in the major techniques and disciplines commonly used in biotechnology. Course subjects may include recombinant DNA and molecular biology techniques, immunotechnology, protein chemistry and proteomics, product management, drug design and drug development processes, medical implants, stem cell therapy and nanotechnology. In addition, students will receive direct experience with many of the analytical and testing techniques used in the biotechnology and healthcare industries. Workplace-related training will include an introduction to pertinent regulatory issues and practices, basic training in proposal preparation and public presentation of technical topic and training in program management systems and product development processes. A unique aspect of this program is the focus on biotechnology in medicine. Students are trained in the sciences and business practices important to biotechnology using medical applications....

These course sequence models are provided as examples of ways to meet all the graduation requirements of the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences and the Biotechnology Curriculum in the specific options within four years. This is only an illustrative tool to show you an example of how to meet the requirements and does not substitute for faculty advising. You must consult with your faculty advisor before registration for classes. The examples shown here (even though " OR" is shown in some cases) do not cover all the possibilities, just some of the most common ones. There may be other sequences that satisfy the requirements. Important Notice for All Biotechnology Majors Please be aware of course and grade requirements as prerequisites for core biotechnology courses: • • • Based on past experience, students doing poorly in prerequisite courses are not capable of comprehending course material. Therefore, any student who does not meet the appropriate grade requirement(s) will be deregistered from the relevant course prior to the start of each semester. Prerequisite Structure TO STAY ON TRACK FOR A 4 YEAR PROGRAM, THE FOLLOWING COURSES MUST BE COMPLETED BY THE DESIGNATED JUNCTURES: • General Biology (2 semesters) - BEFORE FIRST SEMESTER OF SOPHOMORE YEAR • Genetics - BEFORE FIRST SEMESTER OF JUNIOR YEAR • General Microbiology - BEFORE THE SECOND SEMESTER OF JUNIOR YEAR • Molecular Genetics and Molecular Genetics Lab - BY THE END OF JUNIOR YEAR Biotechnology Options (2...

What is biotechnology? Biotechnology is the use of biological systems to solve scientific challenges and positively impact our society. Biotech scientists foster creativity and innovation in a variety of fields, using a toolbox of science and technology expertise to put biological molecules such as DNA or proteins to work in useful and groundbreaking ways. A biotech scientist’s duties might include: • Creating vaccines to combat debilitating diseases • Discover novel antibiotics from biological sources • Developing assays to diagnose complex clinical diseases • Developing drought and pesticide resistant crops to aid in food production • Using forensic science to analyze samples to help solve criminal investigation • Helping reduce industrial waste by creating cleaner manufacturing processes What jobs can I get with a bachelor's in biotechnology degree? Nationally, the biotechnology industry is growing roughly 12 percent per year. Biotechnology is needed in a variety of fields, including pharmaceutical research and development, environmental science, agriculture, animal and human health and forensics.
