                         ______________

I, Stephen F. Hiu, 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.
