Biotechnology

Biotechnology is the scientific field that involves the use of living organisms, cells, and biological systems to develop products and technologies for various applications. This interdisciplinary area combines principles from biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, and computer science to manipulate biological systems and processes. Biotechnology encompasses a wide range of activities, including genetic engineering, molecular biology, genomics, and microbiology. It is used in various sectors, including healthcare (for the production of vaccines and therapeutics), agriculture (for genetically modified organisms and sustainable farming practices), and environmental management (for bioremediation and waste treatment). The goal of biotechnology is to improve the quality of life, enhance food security, and solve complex problems related to health, agriculture, and the environment through innovative biological solutions.
