CERTIFICATIONS
______________

I, Edward J. Weisberger, 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.
