What is the Biotechnology Branch?

Biotechnology deals with life sciences or biology-based science and produces useful products for the fields of health & medicine, biofuels & bioenergy, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, medical, manufacturing, chemical or environmental management, waste management, and other industries.

Biotechnology harnesses cellular and bio-molecular mechanisms to create technologies and products that help enhance our lives and our galaxy’s health. 

Biotechnology helps to solve the world’s problems by reducing infectious disease rates;  saving millions of lives for peoples; changing the chances of extreme; life-threatening circumstances impacting millions worldwide; customization of medications for people to minimize health complications and side effects; creating more accurate instruments for the identification of diseases; fighting acute illnesses and everyday problems facing the developing world.

Biotechnology’s main aim is to enhance the quality of human life and health.

The research of DNA, tissues, microorganisms such as yeasts and bacteria, viruses, and complex proteins is part of biotechnology.

Biotechnology is used to minimize greenhouse gas emissions, grow bigger, more nutritious crops, and improve life-saving therapies and vaccines.

The convergence of engineering principles and biology has helped produce many life-saving devices, such as artificial organs (such as limbs, bladder, brain, ear, eye, heart, kidney, and other), robotic surgery or robot-assisted surgery or surgical robots, advanced prosthetics, modern prescription medicines, kidney dialysis and other. Robotic surgery, or robot-assisted surgery, makes it possible for doctors to perform many kinds of serious complications with greater accuracy, versatility, and control than traditional techniques can.
