Biotechnology

Biotechnology is the use of living organisms, or parts of them, to develop or create useful products and processes. This interdisciplinary field combines biology with technology, engineering, and other sciences to solve problems in medicine, agriculture, and industry. Examples range from traditional methods like brewing beer to modern genetic engineering for therapeutic drugs and genetically modified crops.

Course Overview

Definition:

Biotechnology applies scientific and engineering principles to living organisms and their parts to create products, services, and knowledge.

Etymology:

The term "biotechnology" was coined in 1919 by agronomist Károly Ereki, combining the words "biology" and "technology".

Types:

It is often divided into two eras:

Traditional biotechnology: Uses organisms in their natural form, like fermentation in brewing, baking, and cheese making.

Modern biotechnology: Involves more advanced techniques like genetic engineering, which manipulates the DNA of organisms
