Introduction of Biotechnology

Biotechnology is the interdisciplinary frontier between biology, engineering, medicine, and plant science.
Biotechnology is the use of advances in molecular biology for application in human and animal health, agriculture, environment and specially biochemical manufacturing.
Biotechnology is the collection of tools, and is about, problem solving, where experts from different disciplines collaborate to find a solution to an identified problem, such as pest control, nutritional enhancement, an improved drug, a vaccine or any antibody.
Biotechnology is not a single subject, but is really an integrated approach using a conglomerate of several disciplines such as botany, zoology, microbiology, biochemistry and chemistry, molecular biology, genetics, plant breeding, pharmacology, medicine, information and computer science and others.
A career in Biotechnology is not just a job. It is participation in then development of new products and processes that could improve the quality of human life as much as any other discovery.
Biotechnology is the ‘Biological Revolution’
