                         ______________

I, Stephen F. Hiu, certify that:

  1.   I  have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10 QSB/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)) 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.
