Biotechnology is a subject that combines biological science and technology to develop innovative products by changing the genetic make-up of biological cells.
Biotechnology impacts on the quality of our lives and the world we live in.
Biotechnologists tackle global issues in healthcare, energy, environment, food, and agriculture to:
- develop new life-saving medicines
- feed growing populations by generating plants with better nutritional value
- reduce greenhouse gas emissions by providing cleaner biofuels
