Biotechnology

Biotechnology is a field of science that involves the use of living organisms, biological systems, or their derivatives to develop or create products and technologies for various applications. It combines principles from biology, chemistry, and engineering to manipulate biological materials at the molecular and cellular levels. Biotechnology encompasses a wide range of applications, including medical developments like gene therapy and the production of vaccines, agricultural innovations such as genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and industrial processes involving enzymes and microorganisms for manufacturing. The goal of biotechnology is often to improve quality of life, enhance efficiency in food production, and create sustainable solutions for environmental challenges.
