Medical Biotechnology

Image
Medical biotechnology   is a branch of medicine that uses living cells and cell materials to research and then produce pharmaceutical and diagnosing products. These products help treat and prevent diseases. The main aim of medical biotechnology is the Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatment of diseases. Medical Biotechnology principles are applied in   pharmacology , gene therapy, stem cells and tissue engineering. It is a rapidly evolving field integrating knowledge obtained in molecular, cell biological, genetic and immunological scientific areas. The medical biotechnology field has helped bring to market microbial pesticides, insect-resistant crops, and environmental clean-up techniques. This discovery was the result of research studies related to deoxyribonucleic acid. Many scientists in the medical   biotechnology   field study genetic engineering which involves isolating, identifying and sequencing the human genes to determine their functions. Advancements- CRISPR ...

Agricultural Biotechnology

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

Biotechnology  is technology which utilizes biological systems, living organisms or parts of this to develop or create different products. Biotechnology is especially important in the field of medicine, where it facilitates the producing of therapeutic proteins and other drugs. Synthetic insulin and synthetic growth hormone and diagnostic tests to find various diseases are just some examples of how biotechnology is impacting medicine. It also proved helpful in refining industrial processes, in environmental clean-up and in agricultural production. Modern technology can also include  genetic engineering  as well as cell and tissue culture technologies. It is the research and development in the laboratory using  bioinformatics  for exploration, extraction, exploitation and production from any living organisms and any source of biomass. In medicine, modern biotechnology has many applications in areas such as pharmaceutical drug discoveries and production, pharmacog...
