Biochemical Engineering

Biochemical Engineering   is a highly interdisciplinary field combining biotechnology and chemical engineering. It includes the study of how basic raw materials are changed to the finished products by means of rigorous processes. It mainly deals with the design, construction, and advancement of unit processes that involve biological organisms or organic molecules and has different applications in areas of interest like   biofuels , food, pharmaceuticals,   biotechnology   and water treatment processes. The cells could be from animals, bacteria or single-celled animals like algae each type needs to be treated in a various way to get them to do what is needed. Biofuels Medicines Personal care products Cleaning products Paper Plastic products Oil products Paint products Pesticides

Stem Cell Biotechnology and Regenerative Medicine

Image
Stem cell   therapy also known as   regenerative medicine , which promotes the repair response of diseased, dysfunctional or injured tissue using stem cells or their derivatives. Regenerative medicine is the bough of medicine that develops methods to regrow, repair or replace damaged or diseased cells, organs or tissues and also includes the generation and use of therapeutic stem cells,   tissue engineering   and the producing of artificial organs. Stem cell research plays a major role in regenerative medicine, which includes the development and use of stem cell treatments. Stem Cell Treatments Cartilage Regeneration Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Prolotherapy

Animal biotechnology

Image
Animal biotechnology   is a branch of biotechnology in which molecular biology techniques are used to genetically engineer animals in order to improve their suitability for agriculture, industrial, or pharmaceutical applications. Animal   biotechnology   has been used to create genetically modified animals that synthesize therapeutic proteins, have improved growth rates or are resistant to disease. It includes all animals: livestock, poultry, fish, insects, companion animals and laboratory animals. Applications evolved through research have led to the emergence of three scientific agricultural  animal biotechnology  sectors- Animal genomics Animal cloning Genetic engineering of animals

Industrial Biotechnology

Image
Industrial Biotechnology  can be explained as the exploitation of enzymes, microorganisms, and plants to produce energy, industrial chemicals and consumer goods. It is one of the most promising new approaches to pollution prevention, resource conservation and cost reduction. It developed to its full potential, industrial biotechnology may have a larger impact on the world than health care and  agricultural biotechnology . These include pharmaceuticals, enzymes,  biofuels  and solvents, nutrients including vitamins and supplements, and novel polymers. As new technologies are employed, they increase the diversity of products that can be produced through industrial biotechnology.

Environmental Biotechnology

Image
Environmental Biotechnology   is the branch of biotechnology that addresses environmental problems like the removal of pollution, renewable energy generation or biomass production, by use of biological processes. Environmental Biotechnology used to detect, prevent and remediate the emission of   pollutants   into the   environment   in a number of ways. Environmental biotechnology includes the use of microorganisms and their processes for the clean-up of environmental contamination, specific examples of which include ground-water treatment, treatment of leachates, and clean-up of contaminated soils, sludges and sediments.

Genetics and Molecular Biotechnology

Image
Molecular Biology and  Genetics  seek to know how the molecules that make up cells determine the behavior of living things. Biologists use molecular and genetic tools to know the function of those molecules in the complex milieu of the living cell. They study the genetic, chemical and physical attributes of cells, tissues and organisms and identify practical uses for this knowledge. Genetics and  molecular biology  has given rise to the clusters of techniques that we called such names as  genetic engineering . The techniques have rapidly become integral parts of modern biomedical and bio agricultural science, and they promise to transform our world.

Agricultural Biotechnology

Image
Agricultural Biotechnology   is a group of scientific techniques used to improve plants, animals and microorganisms. Based on an understanding of   DNA , scientists have developed solutions to improve agricultural productivity. Starting from the ability to identify genes that may confer advantages on certain crops and the ability to work with such characteristics very precisely,   biotechnology   enhances breeder’s ability to make improvements in crops and livestock. It enables improvements that are not possible with traditional crossing of related species alone. Uses- Genetic engineering Molecular markers Molecular diagnostics Vaccines Tissue culture
