What is "BioTech"?

Located at University of Texas at Austin, BioTech is a hybrid biology/chemistry educational resource and research tool on the World Wide Web. BioTech is intended to be a learning tool that will attract students and enrich the public's knowledge of biology issues in the world today. At the same time, BioTech is also a research tool for those already involved in the broad subject of biology. By providing information about resources, as well as avenues for further exploration, we intend to open the doors of biology resources to post-secondary students, researchers, and faculty.

Our Mission:

Our mission is to make BioTech as useful a tool to a high school student as it is to a postdoctoral fellow. We aim to educate those who may not have as much experience with biology and biotechnology while at the same time providing quick access to biology-related resources for those who are dealing with much more specific and detailed information. We do not wish to exclude anyone from this project -- we will assist those who need assistance and merely open doors for those who are interested in finding information on their own.

Our Goal:

Our goal is to utilize the skyrocketing success of the World Wide Web as a means of bringing information about the broad scope of biology into view of as many people from many educational levels as possible. We intend to educate, facilitate, inform, and direct attention to as many sources of biology-related information as possible.
