The Future of Biotechnology Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Biotechnology has always been a field of innovation, blending biology with technology to solve human challenges. From the discovery of antibiotics to the development of recombinant DNA, biotech has reshaped medicine, agriculture, and industry. Today, biotechnology powers life-saving vaccines, personalised therapies, and sustainable solutions to environmental problems. In the UK, biotechnology is a fast-growing sector.
