Biotechnology is a broad field that involves the use of living organisms, cells, and biological systems to develop products and technologies that improve our lives. It encompasses various disciplines such as molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, and microbiology.
In biotechnology, scientists manipulate biological systems at the molecular and cellular levels to develop new products, improve existing ones, or solve problems in fields like medicine, agriculture, food production, and environmental protection.
Some common applications of biotechnology include the production of pharmaceuticals like vaccines and antibiotics, genetically modified crops for improved yield and resistance to pests, enzymes for industrial processes, and bioremediation to clean up pollution. Biotechnology has the potential to address many challenges facing society, from treating diseases to producing sustainable sources of food and energy.
