Biotech

Biotech, short for biotechnology, refers to the use of living systems, organisms, or derivatives to develop or create products and technologies. This field encompasses a wide range of applications, including healthcare, agriculture, environmental management, and industrial processes. In healthcare, biotech is used for drug development, including the production of biopharmaceuticals and vaccines. In agriculture, it can involve genetic modification of crops to enhance yield, resistance to pests, or nutritional value. Environmental biotech focuses on using organisms for bioremediation, waste management, and sustainable practices. The underlying principle of biotech is leveraging biological systems to innovate and solve problems, making it an interdisciplinary field that integrates biology, chemistry, engineering, and technology.
