Page "Biotechnology" Paragraph 93

Biotechnologists are often employed to scale up bio processes from the laboratory scale to the manufacturing scale.

Moreover, as with most engineers, they often deal with management, economic and legal issues.

Since patents and regulation ( e. g., U. S. Food and Drug Administration regulation in the U. S .) are very important issues for biotech enterprises, bioengineers are often required to have knowledge related to these issues.
