How do you become a genetic engineer?

Answer 1

1) A good all round education.

2) An ability to get on with others in a team.

3) A sound moral sense -- above all, a scientist has to be concerned with the truth, has to be honest.

4) An ability to love your subject of study/research and show individual initiative.

5) A lively and creative imagination; a flair for problem-solving.

6) A sharp intellect and an ability to think reductionistically, i.e. to consider living things in terms of molecules or objects to be tinkered with to suit human desires.

7) And ability to regard one's chosen living organism as a tool with which to build one's career, provided one respects the basic minimal ethical standards of treatment of the organism (e.g. an animal) imposed by society.

8) Late high school and exam passes to university entrance grades covering Biology, chemistry and mathematics subjects, as well as genetics as part of the Biology.

9) An undergraduate education in molecular biology or molecular genetics and a good enough Bachelor of Science degree to qualify for studying for a research degree (Doctor of Philosophy, Ph.D.).

10) A PhD degree based on several (e.g. 3) years of your own original research under the guidance of a supervisor.

11) Some post-doctoral research experience in which you choose a domain of molecular biology to make your own.

12) Practical experience in recombinant DNA techniques can be gained during academic research or through research and development (R&D) in industry.

13) Laboratory technicians including those charged with the care of the living organisms to be genetically modified in many countries often require special training at technical colleges. Some technicians work their way up by coming in with no qualifications and learning on the job.

Answer 3

Genetic engineering is actually genetic modification, involving an organism's DNA. It is done with genetic material that does not naturally belong to organic material, is injected into it. Some people are concerned about the safety of genetically engineered foods.

Answer 4

To work in the genetic engineering industry, a PhD is usually needed. A degree in biochemistry or biophysics can open the opportunity for an entry level job. However, if an individual plans to work with patients, a medical degree is required.

Answer 5

In the truest sense of genetic engineer (PhD), it will take approximately eight years beyond high school which also involves about three years of original research. Thus the following.

Answer 6

what is the qualification to be a genetic engineer?

Answer 7

To be a geneticist, a bachelor's degree is required. Most often the degree is in biology. Clinical geneticists must have a Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree.
