What is Biotechnology?
Biotechnology is the interdisciplinary area between biology, engineering, and pharmaceutics, where advances in scientific and technological developments in molecular biology are used for applications in human and animal health, agriculture, environment, and advanced biochemical and biotherapeutic manufacturing.
Today, biotechnology offers innovation products and technologies to manage and treat debilitating and rare diseases, decrease our environmental footprint, provide sustainable foods, use less and cleaner energy, and have safer, cleaner and more efficient industrial manufacturing processes.
Personalised medicine, cell and gene therapy, and tissue engineering will emerge over the next ten years as important biotechnology products.
