Biotechnology Day at American University of Ras Al Khaimah - AURAK

The Biotechnology Department and the Office of Admissions of the American University of Ras Al Khaimah organized a Biotechnology Day on 14th May 2011. The event was an opportunity for the High School Students in the United Arab Emirates to get to know more about the emerging fields of life sciences. 

  

The idea of the event stem from the need to make people aware of the career possibilities in the area of Biotechnology, and focused towards those high school students who are interested to pursue a career in life-sciences related fields. For these students, Biotechnology offers a perfect degree program as it opens doors to its applications in Environmental, Agricultural, Pharmaceutical, Industrial, Medical, Genetics and many more fields.

'Biotechnology Day is a student run initiative to spread awareness about the emerging field of Biotechnology, backed by the support of the Administration of the university" said Afiq Hasan from the Admissions Department.

Large number of students, representing a good mix of cultural backgrounds coming from almost all the Emirates participated in this event 

The event was started by Dr Shaukat Mirza, President of AURAK, who underlined the significance of these events in informing and raising public awareness in general and in offering sound information to direct the students at critical time of their career development. 

The audience was then introduced to the different fields of Biotechnology by Professor Saad Alsaadi, Chairperson of Biotechnology at AURAK, who highlighted the historical and the present developments in the field of Biotechnology. The practical application of Biotechnology in dealing with many economically important issues like agricultural development in UAE, were also discussed. 

"The Future Prospects of Biotechnology" was thoroughly highlighted by Dr Talal Al Zaher, Biotechnology Manager at Julphar Pharmaceutical Industries, who also emphasized the importance of establishing a strong links and cooperation between the university and the industrial sections in general, and the companies working in the fields of biotechnology in particular. 

The second part of the event was entirely student facilitated which included an open- discussion between the Biotechnology students of AURAK and the delegates. In addition the delegates were taken in a tour to observe various projects that AURAK-Biotechnology students have been working on, followed by a visit to the Biotechnology laboratory where the delegates experienced some of the practical side of biotechnology first hand.

We thank all those who attended and made this event a success.
