scientific tracks

1. Medical Biotechnology (Red Biotechnology)

Medicinal biotechnology is the utilization of living cells and cell materials to research and make pharmaceutical and  items which are used for diagnosis that help to treat and avoid diseases which occur in humans. The field includes research and development of technology used in agricultural, medical and pharmaceutical industries.


Medical Biotechnology is mainly applied in

Pharmacology

Gene Therapy

Stem Cells

Tissue Engineering

2. Industrial Biotechnology (White Biotechnology)

Industrial biotechnology is the application of biotechnology for industrial purposes, which includes industrial fermentation. Industrial biotechnology includes the utilization of microorganisms, or components of cells like enzymes, to generate industrially useful products in areas such as food and feed, chemicals, detergents, biofuels, and textiles.

 

Applications of Industrial Biotechnology

Metabolite production

Anaerobic digestion (for methane production)

Waste treatment (both organic and industrial)

Production of bio-control agents and Fermentation of food products

Bio based fuel and energy 

3. Agricultural Biotechnology (Green Biotechnology)

Agriculturalbiotechnology, also known as agritech, is an area of agricultural science involving the use of scientific tools and techniques, including genetic engineering, molecular diagnostics, vaccines, molecular markers, and tissue culture, to modify living organisms: animals, plants, and microorganisms. One aspect of agricultural biotechnology which has been greatly developed upon in recent times is Crop biotechnology.

 

Micro-propagation

Induction and Selection of Mutant

Production of Somatic Hybrids

Production of Transgenic Plants

4. Marine Biotechonology (Blue Biotechnology)

Marine biotechnology is an area where products are derived (or) developed from a wide variety of marine plants and animals. It also includes aquaculture, where aquatic organisms are grown in culture and used for food, fuel, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other products.


Aquaculture and Fishery

Algae culture

Medical applications

Transgenic fish

5. Pharmaceutical Biotechnology

Pharmaceutical biotechnology is a generally new and developing field in which the standards of biotechnology are connected to the advancement of medications. A greater part of helpful medications in the present market are bioformulations, for example, antibodies, nucleic corrosive items and immunizations. Such bioformulations are created through a few phases that include: understanding the standards hidden wellbeing and malady; the crucial sub-atomic components administering the capacity of related biomolecules; amalgamation and sanitization of the particles; deciding the item timeframe of realistic usability, steadiness, danger and immunogenicity; medicate conveyance frameworks; licensing; and clinical preliminaries.

Vaccines                                                                  

Genetic testing

Cardiovascular disorders


6. Microbial Biotechnology

Microbes (or microorganisms) are organisms that are too small to be seen by the unaided eye. Different types of microbial living spaces reflect an enormous diversity of biochemical and metabolic attributes that have emerged by genetic variation and natural selection in microbial populations. It is mostly used in food, agriculture, medicine and pharmaceutical industries. 

Traditional microbial technology

Microbial technology

Fermentation

Vaccines 

7. Animal Biotechnology

It is one of the branch of biotechnology in which techniques of molecular biology are used to genetically engineer (i.e. to modify the genome of) animals in order to increase their suitability for agricultural, pharmaceutical, or industrial applications. It has been used to produce genetically modified animals that synthesize therapeutic proteins, have improved growth rates or are resistant to disease.

Animal Cloning

Artificial Insemination

Embryo Transfer

Multiple Ovulation

 

8. Plant Biotechnology

It can be defined as the introduction of desirable characters into plants through genetic alteration. Plantbiotechnologies that help in developing new varieties and attributes include genetics and genomics, transgenic (genetic engineered) crops, marker-assisted selection (MAS).

Gene Transfer

Cloning

Polymerase Chain Reaction

Tissue Culture
