Biotechnology

Biotechnology is the use of biological systems, living organisms or their components to develop products, technologies and processes that improve human life, the environment and industrial efficiency. It includes applications in health, agriculture, energy, materials and environmental management. Modern biotechnology uses tools such as genetics, molecular biology, bioengineering and bioinformatics to create or modify organisms for specific purposes. Examples include developing medicines and vaccines, enhancing crop resilience, producing bio-based chemicals and materials, supporting waste treatment and advancing marine or industrial bioprocesses. By enabling cleaner production and resource-efficient solutions, biotechnology supports sustainable development and innovation across multiple sectors.
