What does BBBE mean in BIOTECHNOLOGY

Biotechnology and biochemical engineering are the application of scientific principles associated with biology, chemistry, biochemistry, genetics and microbiology to create products. Biomass engineering involves converting organic materials or biomass into energy or useful products such as biofuels, chemicals, plastics and food products.

To pursue a degree in biotechnology biochemical and biomass engineering, you will need a high school diploma at minimum, with coursework in physics, chemistry and mathematics. A university degree typically involves completing an undergraduate program in chemical engineering or biotechnology followed by a master's or PhD program in biotechnology biochemical and biomass engineering.

Careers in biomaterials manufacturing and research; renewable energy production; bioenergy conversion technologies; medical device development; agricultural processing; industrial process optimization; water treatment; metabolic engineering; biorefineries; biomedical devices design; synthetic biology design; nanobiotechnology research.

Industries that benefit from the skillset associated with biotechnology biochemical and biomass engineering include healthcare, food production/agriculture, pharmaceuticals, energy production, environmental technology (water treatment plants etc.), alternative fuels development (bioethanol), petrochemicals companies and materials science-related firms.

Depending on their industry focus and job role, professionals working in the field of biotechnology biochemical and biomass engineering may be involved in researching effective ways to convert organic materials into energy or useful products such as biofuels or pharmaceuticals, developing product designs for medical devices such as prosthetics or creating processes for treating wastewater using bacteria-based solutions.

Professionals working in biotechnology biochemical and biomass engineering often work in laboratories performing experiments to improve product designs or optimize processes for converting organic materials into energy. They may also participate in meetings with colleagues where project plans are discussed or give presentations about their research findings to customers.

Yes there are! Professional organizations such as ABB (American Biotech Industry) offer online educational programs featuring lectures from experts on new technologies related to the field of biomaterials manufacturing/processing & renewables industry as well as seminars on policies impacting the industry.

Metabolic Engineering is a subset of systems biology that focuses on designing organisms so they produce specific molecules through optimizing gene expression levels associated with metabolic pathways. It could be used for example to increase yields of biofuel production from microorganisms used for fermentation purposes by improving their efficiency analysis techniques such as flux balance analysis etc.
