What exactly is life science .an how good is it as a career

Its nothing but Like-Biotechnology.Important traits for getting into this domain are a high degree of intelligence and a general aptitude for science and scientific applications. Since biotechnology is redefining the boundaries of science, to become a part of such an innovative field you must posses an inherent attitude of originality and imagination. Other skills that will sail you through a successful and a fulfilling career in this path-breaking area are perseverance, immense patience, analytical proficiency, ability to work for long hours, team spirit and communication skills. Like any other job profile, the pay packet largely depends on your academic qualification, your area of specialisation and the institution from where you have earned your degree. Fresh graduates in this field can generally bag a monthly salary in the range of Rs 8,000 to Rs 15,000. Positives/Negatives +ves: • This is an upcoming and constantly growing science and has worldwide scope especially in terms of research. • The scope for research is very wide and efficient work gets fast acclamation within multinationals. • If you succeed in clearing the tests and interviews, it is assumed you are the right fit for the profession. -ves: • The number of seats for biotechnology courses is very limited across colleges in comparison with subjects such as physics, chemistry or biology. • The testing and interviewing processes usually are difficult and one has to be technically expert. The number of companies employing biotechnology students is less when compared with number of companies hiring IT professionals or finance professionals. • You will have to put in a lot of hard work which can be frustrating at times. • This is not a profession for people who want to make fast buck but for people who are looking for a long and a well charted career. Top Companies Some companies to work with: 1. Biocon 2. Serum Institute of India 3. Panacea Biotech 4. Mahyco Monsanto Biotech 5. Rasi Seeds 6. Novo Nordisk 7. Aventis 8. Indian Immunologicals 9. Venkateshwara Hatcheries 10. Ranbaxy 11. Dr. Reddy’s Labs 12. Piramal Healthcare. One major problem faced on the demand side is that a vast majority of students who are engaged in cutting edge research often tend to leave India to complete their research projects. Moreover, once these students complete their research work they tend to stay and work abroad. I hope you get the some of points.

Careers in life sciences can be divided into three areas: Pathology. Healthcare science staff in pathology investigate the causes of illness and how it progresses; carry out tests on tissue, blood and other samples from patients. They play a crucial role in the diagnosis of illness, they help doctors choose the best type of treatment for patients, and monitor its effectiveness. Genetics. Healthcare science staff in this field play an important role in understanding the genetic components of illnesses. Reproductive science. This is a rapidly developing field, where healthcare science staff are key in creating life and providing other solutions to infertility.
