Description
Biotechnology refers to the technical applications of living organisms or their functions. These applications may be used in engineering, medicine, or agriculture, to name a few. Biotechnology processes and procedures are varied and range from the domestication of animals to genetic engineering. At its core, biotechnology involves the modification of a biological process for a human defined purpose.
Use the Internet to research the field of biotechnology.

Evaluation of Current or Future Applications of Biotechnology in Medicine
Biotechnology is applicable in different fields of science such as medicine and
agriculture. In the medical area, there is increased use of biotechnology in techniques in the
diagnosis and treatment of various infections. It also enhances the opportunity for protection
from infectious disease. Biotechnology and genetic engineering have led to the introduction of
techniques such as the gene therapy. Various application of biotechnology plays a vital role in
the development of medicine and improvement of health results. The development of
biopharmaceuticals is as a result of biotechnology technique. As opposed to the use of chemicals
in the synthesis of these drugs, biotechnology has enhanced the use of microorganisms. The
primary source of the biopharmaceutical is the large molecules of the proteins (Jozala et al.,
2016). They are responsible for attacking and destruction of the hidden mechanisms of...
