First career dedicated to this area of knowledge in Uruguay. Biotechnology Engineers are specialized professionals trained to add value to the industry. Biotechnology, due to its transdisciplinary nature, can add value to all the productive areas of the country. You can, for example, quickly select the best lean meat breeders or the best seeds to be grown. As stated by its coordinator, Mag. Carlos Sanguinetti, the students of this career acquire knowledge about laboratory practices, quality standards, biobusiness and business management. But above all they learn to generate economic value through science. Biotechnology Engineering studies the functioning of companies and markets, together with the most relevant ethical and legal aspects.
