Biotechnology

Biotechnology is a field of science that involves the use of living organisms, biological systems, or their derivatives to develop or create products and technologies that improve human health, agriculture, and the environment. It combines principles from biology, chemistry, and engineering to manipulate biological systems at the molecular and cellular levels. Applications of biotechnology include the development of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), pharmaceuticals, diagnostic tools, and sustainable agricultural practices. The field encompasses various techniques such as genetic engineering, cell culture, and fermentation. Biotechnology holds promise for addressing challenges in medicine, food production, and environmental conservation.
