                               ______________

I, Edward J. Weisberger, certify that:

1.   I  have  reviewed  this  quarterly report on Form 10Q-SB/A 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)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined
     in  Exchange  Act  Rules  13a-15(f)  and  15d-15(f))  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) Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or
          caused  such  internal control over financial reporting  to  be
          designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance
          regarding  the  reliability  of  financial  reporting  and  the
          preparation  of financial statements for external  purposes  in
          accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

          (c)  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

          (d)  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.
