MEDICAL BIOTECHNOLOGY

• Undergraduate

Science has seen mankind’s quality of life improve by leaps and bounds since the bubonic plague plunged Europe into the Dark Ages. As much as scientific progress in vaccines has resolved historically deadly diseases such as polio and others, the continual emergence of new and old diseases emphasizes the importance of medical biotechnology to improve healthcare delivery.

WHY STUDY MEDICAL BIOTECHNOLOGY AT IMU

Programme structure, entry requirement, fee structure, partner universities, industrial partners, views from our community, latest news & stories, have a question ask us, medical biotechnology degree.

Even though you may not be aware of this Biological discipline in secondary schools in Malaysia, medical biotechnology has been in existence for centuries. From the early days of diseases where medicine alone could not save dying people from very simple bacterial infections, medical biotechnology has grown out of necessity to save human lives. Medical Biotechnology is a subset of medicine and biotechnology that teaches us how to use any living organisms to come up with products to help us live long and more productive lives.

We are all exposed to and have benefitted from Medical Biotechnological discoveries from Edward Jenner’s creation of vaccination for small pox, to the use of DNA technology to identify SARS-CoV-2, inherited diseased genes, and human remains, to advances in vaccine development using mRNA and adenoviral vector platforms. During the last few years we have seen the amazing yet controversial progression of gene editing experiments by growing human organs in animals for future transplantation, to the current use of DNA biotechnology in viral detection and development of a viable vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of genomic sequencing has revolutionised and assisted us in identifying and characterising the pathogenicity of the SARS-CoV-2 variants (delta, delta-plus, mu, omicron, xbb and bq variants).

All the information from science subjects that you have studied in secondary and high schools are amongst some of the key courses you will study in Medical Biotechnology such as Forensic Science, Molecular Medicine, Biopharming, Medical Microbiology and Parasitology, Stem Cell, Data Analytics and Omics Technology. Medical Biotechnology students at IMU will also learn how to contribute towards developing beneficial products to prevent and treat human diseases, learn how to communicate your findings to the general public and eventually market your own biotechnology products and set up your own biotechnology companies. Amongst the teaching methodologies conducted in the programme include: face-to-face as well as virtual lectures, hands-on laboratory practical, small group teaching (problem based learning and tutorials), workshops, computer-aided learning (CAL), seminars, presentations, industrial visits, video reviews, internships with our partner schools in Australia, guided reading and portfolio as well as original and independent research work. In addition, the annual event of Graduated Preparedness Advisory Committee (GPAC) enables students to obtain insights from our biotechnology industry partners and in preparing students to the future market needs through a series of forums with relevant industries. As preparation for the workplace/internship, in Year 3, the students will participate in peer-review feedback as part of the learning to self- and peer-critique in preparation for challenges faced in the workplace/graduate school.

MBOT is a professional body that recognises and registers graduates with specific skills in the areas of technology. The Medical Biotechnology programme at IMU has obtained accreditation from MBOT, and with this recognition, our graduates are eligible to register as certified Graduate Technologists (GT). Certification as GT should assist our graduates in securing viable careers in the workforce locally and abroad.

Alumna, Medical Biotechnology

The Medical Biotechnology programme at IMU and the IMU lecturers have prepared us well for a real work environment not only in equipping us with laboratory skills, but also in soft skills such as communication skill and time management. Sufficient number of practical classes and opportunities for each of us to conduct an experiment are provided by this programme. This ensures that we can practice and learn more before we get into industrial training.

Christopher Naythan Ravi

MB116 – Alumnus, Medical Biotechnology

IMU Medical Biotechnology programme has prepared me in a lot of ways for this industrial training such as giving me the insight that medical biotechnology is not just about being in the field of research but it can be so much more such as in the marketing department, regulatory affairs and many more. Besides that, all the courses provided in the medical biotechnology programme were very beneficial especially the organic chemistry modules as it helped me understand the fundamentals to be able to move through easily in the chemical and chromatography department.

Kok Li Shan

I particularly selected the medical biotechnology programme at IMU because the curriculum suits my preference of wanting to learn more of both medical and technology related contents. True enough, the curriculum was up to my expectations and some even were more than what I had expected. In general, the programme was well planned out in terms of helping me to gain knowledge, develop new skills and apply it at the late stages of the course. I was excited as additional workshops; communication classes and entrepreneur classes were included in this technology-based programme. These sessions were very useful for self-development and prepared me more readily for the workforce in the future. The additional skill set, exposure to related industries and inter-professional learning have also enlightened me. I felt that the programme had nurtured me with valuable knowledge, equipped me with essential skills and techniques and prepared me towards being a health science professional.

MB118 – Student, Medical Biotechnology

Now, I know that studying Medical Biotechnology could make me be someone that I wanted to be, to help alleviate suffering of people through innovation of drugs to treat diseases. In fact, as I learn more about biotechnology, I find out that being a biotechnologist is not just a job which one will only work in a laboratory as a researcher, but it actually provides a lot of job opportunities in many different field, including government agency for policy regulation, pharmaceutical and technology companies, as a product specialist, etc.
