Biotechnology is a technology based on biology, especially when used in agriculture, food science, and medicine. Of the many different definitions available, the one formulated by the UN Convention on Biological Diversity is one of the broadest:
Infrastructure, robotics, biotech Silicene: Early research Nanoscale electronics Superalloy: Research, diffusion Significantly stronger metal components (particularly in aircraft jet engines) Synthetic diamond: Research, commercialization Electronics Time crystal: Research experiments [86] Quantum computers with stable qubits: Translucent concrete
To promote research and consultancy activities in the development of various areas of Biotechnology; The Centre for Biotechnology was one of the first departments to offer Industrial Biotechnology (IBT) as a professional course, and later began courses in Pharmaceutical Technology and Food Technology as added specializations.
Advances followed that allowed scientists to manipulate and add genes to a variety of different organisms and induce a range of different effects. Plants were first commercialized with virus resistant tobacco released in China in 1992. The first genetically modified food was the Flavr Savr tomato marketed in 1994. By 2010, 29 countries had ...
In medicine, modern biotechnology has many applications in areas such as pharmaceutical drug discoveries and production, pharmacogenomics, and genetic testing (or genetic screening). In 2021, nearly 40% of the total company value of pharmaceutical biotech companies worldwide were active in Oncology with Neurology and Rare Diseases being the ...
