                         CERTIFICATIONS
                         ______________

I, Edward J. Weisberger, certify that:

1.   I  have  reviewed  this  quarterly report on Form 10Q-SB  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.
