Hi,

I'm new to the forum and wondered if anyone here had any experience of biotech jobs in NZ, my family and I are seriously considering moving abroad and NZ is high on the list of possible destinations.

We score enough points to apply but i'm not too sure what the biotech industry is like over there, I've read that the government is investing heavily, but I would like to know from real people what the situation is like.

My main experience is in DNA sequencing but anything closely realted to molecular biology would be suitable.

All help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Kellogg, and welcome to cyber madness.
I know nothing of biotech, but do remember reading somewhere that the NZ govt. had given the green light to trial GM crops.
