Biotechnology (Industrial Biotechnology and Bioengineering)

Biotechnology is one of the most dynamically developing areas of human activity, which uses biological objects (micro-organisms, plant and animal cells, cell structures: membranes, mitochondria, chloroplasts, as well as biological macromolecules (DNA, RNA, proteins) based on knowledge in the field of Microbiology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Genetic Engineering, Immunology and Protein Engineering)) to obtain valuable products and perform biochemical transformations. If you want to get a profession of the future, come to study for a biotechnologist. If you want to be interested in studying and working after graduation, choose the direction of training in Biotechnology. If you want to work in a laboratory and deal with living organisms and their cells, this is the place for you. If you see yourself as an engineer of living systems, a developer of new smart medicines or devices and technologies based on nanomechanisms made by nature - choose the profession of Biotechnologist.

Biotechnologist is not just an interesting and creative profession, one of the most popular in the future, but also a profession that brings real benefits to people. It is safe to say that its influence will only increase in the future. So anyone who chooses the profession of biotechnologist today, even in the distant future will find a good job.

Biotechnology has several directions, for example: food biotechnology ‐ a modern and promising direction that uses biotechnological processes to produce food; environmental biotechnology — the use of biotechnological methods to protect the environment; bioenergy — obtaining new renewable energy sources using biotechnological processes; medical biotechnology-obtaining medicines using biological methods.

The aim of the educational program is to train competitive qualified specialists in the field of industrial biotechnology, who have high professional competencies necessary for successful work and high cultural qualities.

The educational program is aimed at developing students ' competencies such as the ability to work with biotechnological processes and devices, biological objects, work with Big Data, optimize technologies for obtaining target products, scale technologies to the production level, and ensure compliance with safety regulations throughout the product lifecycle.

Training at Moscow Poly

Modern tools and methods based on the project-oriented principle (CDIO) are applied in the studying process at Moscow Polytechnic University. Students from the first year work independently on projects which allow them to apply their knowledge in practice and prepare for future work.

The training program is not aimed at cramming textbooks, but at getting students the knowledge, skills and abilities demanded by real employers. Students receive General engineering, chemical and microbiological training, design and management skills of biotechnological enterprises. The updated educational program provides for students to work on projects to develop technologies, devices, sensors, producer strains, and other relevant tasks.

The University has a developed infrastructure for research and project activities. Students learn independence and responsibility, acquire self-learning skills, and work in a team. The best students get a free international internship. After graduation, students receive invaluable practical experience and a portfolio of personal achievements, including recommendations from the employer, which allows them to find a job successfully.

The faculty has an expert Council consisting of leading representatives of the industry. We teach students what they can use in real work.

Department of "Chembiotech" is known for more than half a century as one of the leading department in Moscow in industrial biotechnology. The competitive advantage of our graduates is a wide level of training, adaptability to solving various tasks and orientation of training to the real needs of the employer. The range of areas of biotechnology covered in training, including practical, is the widest in comparison with other departments. Graduates of the Department are in demand by employers and always receive excellent reviews.
