Sustainability and Global Health Biotechnology

The Sustainability & Global Health Biotechnologies (SGHB) certificate prepares students for careers deploying biotechnology to address healthcare access and sustainability challenges in low and middle income countries. Products developed with agricultural biotechnology may contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, such as cover crops that provide sustainable biofuels , fruits and vegetables that stay fresh longer and reduce food waste. Medical biotechnology is a branch of medicine that uses living cells and cell materials to research and then produce pharmaceutical and diagnosing products. These products help treat and prevent diseases. Biotechnology has played a significant role in improving human health by producing enriched nutrients in food products such as Golden Rice, potatoes, maize, groundnuts, soybean etc.
