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
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
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
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
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
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
Fermentation
Vaccines
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
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
