Provides an introduction to biotechnology. Biotechnology is technology that utilizes biological systems, living organisms or parts of this to develop or create different products. Biotechnology is a broad discipline in which biological processes, organisms, cells or cellular components are exploited to develop new technologies.
Biotechnology is technology that utilizes biological systems, living organisms or parts of this to develop or create different products. Biotechnology is a broad discipline in which biological processes, organisms, cells or cellular components are exploited to develop new technologies. New tools and products developed by biotechnologists are useful in research, agriculture, industry and the clinic. Modern biotechnology provides breakthrough products and technologies to combat debilitating and rare diseases, reduce our environmental footprint, feed the hungry, and use less and cleaner energy, and have safer, cleaner and more efficient industrial manufacturing processes.Brewing and baking bread are examples of processes that fall within the concept of biotechnology (use of yeast (= living organism) to produce the desired product). Such traditional processes usually utilize the living organisms in their natural form (or further developed by breeding), while the more modern form of biotechnology will generally involve a more advanced modification of the biological system or organism. With the development of genetic engineering in the 1970s, research in biotechnology (and other related areas such as medicine, biology etc.) developed rapidly because of the new possibility to make changes in the organisms’ genetic material (DNA). Today, biotechnology covers many different disciplines (e.g. genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, etc.). New technologies and products are developed every year within the areas of e.g. medicine, agriculture or industrial biotechnology (production of chemicals, paper, textiles and food.)

Ian Moore received his Bachelor of Science from the University of Michigan-Dearborn in 2014. He has interests that include the role of histone modifications in the regulation of gene transcription and the identification of novel protein interactions and their roles in biological processes. He is currently at Wayne State University working as a teaching assistant and completing his graduate thesis.
