Biotechnology

Biotechnology is a field of science that involves the use of living organisms, cells, and biological systems to develop products and technologies for various applications. It encompasses a range of techniques and approaches, including genetic engineering, molecular biology, and biochemistry, to manipulate biological materials for purposes such as medicine, agriculture, and environmental protection. Biotechnology aims to harness biological processes for innovation, leading to advancements in healthcare (such as the development of vaccines and therapeutics), improved agricultural productivity (through genetically modified organisms), and sustainable practices (like biodegradation and biofuels). The discipline integrates knowledge from life sciences, engineering, and technology to create solutions that address human needs and enhance quality of life.
