Bioengineering
Transcript: - Most genetic engineers require to work volunteer hours with a certified genetic engineer before actually becoming one ( Days, months or even years) - Genetic engineers aiming for infectious diseases usually require more training then a all around genetic engineer. - These are the main fields of genetic engineering: water pollution, air pollution, pesticide use, toxicology, molecular biology, infection control precautions, surveillance methodology, and outbreak investigation. Cool Facts Genetic Engineering is used to make many different medicines including one the most used drugs in the world, insulin. Along with creating many different medicines genetic engineering can also be used to change human genes outside of the body or inside the body. The shaping of these genes are often used to create cures for viruses by seeing what types of genes can create the proper substances to combat viruses. Genetic engineering has been used in clinical trials to treat Cancer, AIDS, Dwarfism, Cystic Fibrosis, High Blood Pressure, and many more. These "cures" are not yet deemed to be safe as improper use can cause serious side effects including genetic mutation. Scientists first modify the cells and the genome either directly inside of the body or outside. If this procedure is done externally, they will use viruses or proteins to carry the new genes into the body. (Like a vaccine). Genetic modification can change animals (Including Humans), and plants/food. Genetic engineers require - Either a PH.D. or a Medical degree (Some May Require PH.D.) - Bachelors degree in medical science Bioengineering The Genetic Engineer Definition: The Direct Change Of The Genome - Unless your food is %100 organic, chances are something in it is genetically modified. - Glow in the dark cats, Poisonous cabbage, Bananas with built-in vaccines, Pigs/Cows that are up to %70 more environmentally friendly, Trees that can naturally clean up hazardous materials like oil, Goats that produce spider web cotton, Salmon/Trees that grow up to 2x faster, Slower ripening produce, and Cancer fighting eggs are all forms of genetic modification. - There are sheep that manufacture human liver. They could very possibly be in the market soon and waiting for a liver would be cut down my months or years. - Sheep, pigs and mice are some of the most used 'Guinea Pigs'. Genetically Modified Mice In conclusion, the Genetic Engineer is a very cool job, you can save lives as well as experiment with an endless amount of alternatives. It requires lots of schooling but would be a excellent field of work to pursue. Natural Genetic mutation.
