Explore the dynamic field of biotechnology, a cutting-edge science that harnesses biological systems and living organisms to develop innovative products and...
Biotechnology is the application of scientific and engineering principles to biological organisms and systems to create products and technologies that improve human lives, health, and the environment.
Biotechnology applications span numerous fields, including medicine (drug development, gene therapy), agriculture (crop improvement, pest resistance), industrial processes (biofuels, enzymes), and environmental protection (bioremediation).
Ethical considerations include genetic privacy, potential misuse of gene-editing technologies, equitable access to treatments, and the environmental impact of genetically modified organisms.
Biotechnology impacts daily life through improved medicines (vaccines, insulin), enhanced food quality, diagnostic tools for diseases, sustainable industrial processes, and eco-friendly products.
