In the 21st century Life science is going to bring in enormous changes in the way we live and get medical care. Newer ways of medical care, newer biological and healthcare products are going to be developed. We will see an artificial tissue developed from stem cells to replace any damaged tissue in our body. We will see a protein supplement taken once a day will provide all the proteins we need. We may see a genetically developed cow, which will produce more milk than a normal cow. Possibilities in the 21st Century are enormous.

Biological research and development of all these products will need Life Scientists in more numbers. So the prospects of all Life Scientists including Biochemists are very bright in India as well as in other countries.
