生物技术科学与工程研究生课程（BSE）是位于汉斯维尔的阿拉巴马大学的跨学科课程，涉及生物技术各个领域的研究和学术活动。该计划的任务是提供博士学位。在生物技术相关的科学和工程领域接受过广泛培训的高水平毕业生，他们将从阿拉巴马州的经济，教育和文化发展中受益。该计划的毕业生有望在学术，政府和商业环境中为生物技术做出重大贡献。生物技术本身并不是一个单一的研究领域，而是一个涉及生物有机体及其亚细胞成分在工业或服务业，环境管理，健康和医学中的实际应用的多学科领域。从本质上讲，它是从微生物学，细胞生物学，分子生物学，遗
Biotech is not a single area of study, but a multidisciplinary field concerned with manipulating living organisms (or their components) to design or enhance vaccines, medicines, energy efficiency, or food safety. Common applications can be found in drug development, human and animal nutrition, agricultural improvements, and environmental protection.<br><br>It is a series of enabling technologies drawn from the fields of microbiology, cellular biology, molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, immunology, fermentation technology, environmental science and engineering which allow one to synthesize, breakdown, or transform materials to suit human needs.<br><br>The future industrial landscape will continue to include research, development and the manufacturing of products such as proteins and nucleic acids that will be based wholly or in large part on biological processes.
