Hi Pranavi,
I do not know if your Masters in Biotechnology will be considered equivalent to MS of USA. You need to approach a degree evaluator for it.
1.) Yes Univ. of Maryland does sponsor H1 Visa (see this: http://www.myvisajobs.com/Visa-Sponsor/U...571876.htm ). But I would expect that if you had done Masters/PhD from USA, your chances of getting a H1B sponsor or to find a job would have been better.
2.) Companies like Genentech (and many more) indeed sponsor H1B visa in research fields, but again choice of sponsoring visa is theirs, not yours.
No one on this forum will be able to accurately predict if a University or a Private company would be willing to do your H1B visa, you would be better of contacting them directly.
