                           ______________

I, Stephen F. Hiu, certify that:

  1. I  have  reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10 QSB of IGENE
  Biotechnology, Inc.;

  2. Based  on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue
  statement  of  a  material fact or omit to state a  material  fact
  necessary   to   make  the  statements  made,  in  light  of   the
  circumstances   under   which   such  statements  were  made,  not
  misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

  3. Based  on  my  knowledge,  the financial statements, and  other
  financial  information  included  in  this  report, fairly present
  in  all  material  respects  the  financial  condition, results of
  operations  and cash flows of the small business issuer as of, and
  for, the periods presented in this report;

  4. The  small  business issuer's other certifying officer(s) and I
  are  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining   disclosure
  controls  and  procedures  (as  defined  in  Exchange  Act   Rules
  13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the small business issuer and have:

          (a)  Designed such disclosure controls and procedures,  or
          caused  such  disclosure controls  and  procedures  to  be
          designed  under our supervision, to ensure  that  material
          information   relating  to  the  small  business   issuer,
          including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known  to
          us  by  others within those entities, particularly  during
          the period in which this report is being prepared;

          (b)  Evaluated  the  effectiveness of the  small  business
          issuer's  disclosure controls and procedures and presented
          in  this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of
          the  disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end  of
          the   period  covered  by  this  report  based   on   such
          evaluation; and

          (c)  Disclosed  in  this report any change  in  the  small
          business   issuer's   internal  control   over   financial
          reporting that occurred during the small business issuer's
          most  recent  fiscal quarter (the small business  issuer's
          fourth  fiscal  quarter in the case of an  annual  report)
          that  has materially affected, or is reasonably likely  to
          materially  affect, the small business  issuer's  internal
          control over financial reporting; and

  5.   The small business issuer's other certifying officer(s) and I
  have  disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation  of  internal
  control  over financial reporting, to the small business  issuer's
  auditors  and  the audit committee of the small business  issuer's
  board   of   directors   (or  persons  performing  the  equivalent
  functions):

          (a)  All  significant deficiencies and material weaknesses
          in  the  design  or  operation of  internal  control  over
          financial   reporting  which  are  reasonably  likely   to
          adversely  affect the small business issuer's  ability  to
          record,    process,   summarize   and   report   financial
          information; and

          (b)  Any  fraud,  whether or not material,  that  involves
          management or other employees who have a significant  role
          in  the  small  business  issuer's internal  control  over
          financial reporting.
