Biotechnology

Biotechnology is a field of science that involves the use of living organisms, cells, and biological systems to develop products and technologies for various applications. It combines principles from biology, chemistry, engineering, and computer science to manipulate biological materials for purposes such as medical diagnosis and treatment, agricultural enhancement, industrial processes, and environmental protection. Key areas within biotechnology include genetic engineering, where DNA is altered to create desired traits; microbiology, which focuses on microorganisms for production and fermentation; and bioprocessing, which involves the use of biological systems to produce valuable substances. Biotechnology has significant implications in healthcare, agriculture, and environmental sustainability, making it a vital field for innovation and research.
