For me the degree of biotechnology has been a spectacular experience on a personal level and at work, where I have met great people, learning and using the most basic techniques from classical molecular biology to the latest specialized technologies that have become essential in the life sciences. Also, I would like to thank to the teachers who teach both theoretical and practical subjects that are directly involved in the daily work of a research laboratory and/ or a private company dedicated to biotechnology. Ultimately I believe that is very well oriented to make a future in both the private and public sector, and in my current situation doctoral student I realize how highly trained we left the university over other students from other universities to face a real research laboratory.
