Ph.D. in Animal Biotechnology explores the use of biotechnological techniques to improve animal health, breeding, and productivity. The program typically lasts 3 to 5 years and includes instruction in molecular biology, genetics, bioinformatics, and immunology as well as extensive research. Students learn about cutting-edge issues such as genetic engineering, cloning, transgenics, stem cell research, and gene editing technologies like CRISPR. Animal illness models, biopharmaceutical development, and livestock productivity improvement are all possible topics for research. Graduates are prepared to work in academia, research institutes, pharmaceutical corporations, or biotechnology firms, helping to progress animal genetics, health management, and the creation of novel biotechnological solutions.
