The engineer-biologist

That is engaged:

By means of purposeful carrying over of genes of one organisms by another, changing structure of a molecule of DNA, bioengineers receive plants genetically modified (H'M), animals and microorganisms with the necessary signs and properties. They develop new kinds of medicines and have already created such preparations as insulin, a hormone of growth of the person, interferon, a vaccine against a hepatitis In, they synthesize effective biocatalysts which are used in industrial production, design microorganisms for recycling of a waste.

Choose this trade, if you:

Without mind from natural sciences, especially biology, chemistry and physics, possess high IQ, are ready to work and in Russia, and abroad; is required ability to concentrate and high observation; ability to logic thinking; absence of aspiration to mobile kinds of activity and active dialogue.

Don't choose, if you:/h3>

Want to earn the big money at once; aren't ready to laborious long-term experiments; consider what to interfere in structures of DNA to mankind while early.

Work place:

To find work to the talented Russian bioengineer, the biologist, it is possible for the chemist or the geneticist: young perspective experts actively invite to work as in Russia, and abroad. Domestic bioengineers successfully carry out orders for the USA, Germany, Holland, Japan. They shouldn't search the western partners, more likely on the contrary, the western firms search for them. Scientists conclude contracts with the foreign companies and work in scientific research institute in the field of genetic or cellular engineering, molecular biology, medical chemistry. Write scientific articles, register patents, defend dissertations In Russia the ordinary bioengineer of scientific research institute in due course can become the head of group, laboratory, to head the serious project, to conduct joint workings out with the foreign companies. Other variant work on manufacture where biotechnologies are used, but in Russia while is a little such companies.

Career and the salary:

The salary of the beginning expert or the post-graduate student in domestic scientific research institute � 5-10 thousand roubles a month. In domestic laboratory which is financed at the expense of grants of foreign partners, the leading expert can monthly receive 30-50 thousand roubles if grants aren't present � there is a usual salary of the budgetary science officer � from 6 to 15 thousand roubles depending on the category of a uniform scale of charges. In the biotechnological domestic companies the young expert can receive $500-700 in a month, and the qualified bioengineer � $1500-3000. Incomes of the experts working in foreign corporations (pharmaceutical, developers H'm-products), � some thousand dollars a month.
