Additional advantages of the programme
The future prosperity of Thai agro-industries and pharmaceutical-industries will depend a great deal
upon strength in the science of biotechnology. The Department of Biotechnology at Faculty of
Science,Mahidol University grew up as a unique multidisciplinary center to promote the application of
a wide range of basic knowledge in biology, microbiology, chemistry, biochemistry, genetic engineering
and bioprocess engineering. Many students have graduated and joined in the effort to develop
Thailand as employees in government and private organizations involved in production, quality control,
quality assurance, research and development in agro-industries and pharmaceutical-industries. In
addition to providing quality graduates, the Department is one of the important research centers which
emphasizes recent applications of biotechnology in areas relevant to the development of Thailand.
