Biotechnology Advancements: Shaping Healthcare and Agriculture
Abstract
Biotechnology has emerged as a transformative field with applications in healthcare, agriculture, and beyond. This paper explores the significance of biotechnology, emphasizing its role in genetic engineering, biopharmaceuticals, and crop improvement. It delves into various aspects, including CRISPR-Cas9 technology, gene therapy, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The discussion includes the benefits of biotechnology, such as personalized medicine, disease treatment, and food security. Moreover, the paper addresses the challenges and considerations in the ethical and regulatory aspects of biotechnology, including bioethics and biosafety. Through a review of biotechnological breakthroughs and ongoing research, the study highlights the positive outcomes associated with harnessing the power of biotechnology.
