Why Biotechnology Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Biotechnology once meant pipettes, lab benches & research reports. But in today’s UK job market, biotech careers are no longer confined to wet labs or sequencing centres. As the sector expands into gene therapies, synthetic biology, personalised medicine, agricultural biotech, and bioinformatics, professionals are expected to integrate not just biology & chemistry, but also law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design.
