Description

As a Biological-technical Assistant, also known as BTA, you will delve into the depths of biological substances - whether it be animals, plants, food, or medicine.

You will investigate if lakes and soils are contaminated with pollutants, or if certain fruits and vegetables have been genetically modified.

You will also analyze our food and check for fat content and chemical additives.

Your keen eye for the smallest biological details is also in demand in research and development. In the laboratory, you will develop environmentally friendly detergent enzymes, test new medications, and more effective anti-aging creams.

Biological-technical assistants are both detectives and pioneers when it comes to cells, bacteria, and viruses. You will typically coordinate with the laboratory management, but otherwise work independently and responsibly.

To ensure that your laboratory results are accurate and traceable, you will create investigation plans, document your findings in protocols, and analyze them afterwards.

Your job prospects are great down to the smallest detail. As a Biological-technical Assistant, you are in demand in many areas.

Depending on your interests or focus, you can work in:

Food industry companies
Research institutions (Max Planck, Fraunhofer, etc.)
Universities
Environmental analysis laboratories
Health authorities
Criminal investigation departments
Chemical and pharmaceutical companies
Medical facilities

Your training is the perfect foundation for entering the workforce or furthering your qualifications through advanced training. Together with a technical high school diploma, you can also begin a degree program
