Biotechnology in Medicine

Biology Meets Technology

Biotechnology uses living organisms or their parts to develop products and solve problems in medicine.

Applications

  • Genetic Engineering: Modifying genes to treat diseases.
  • CRISPR Technology: Editing DNA with precision.
  • Vaccines and Diagnostics: Using biological molecules to prevent and detect diseases.

Impact

Biotechnology has revolutionized medicine, from insulin production to gene therapies for rare disorders.

Examples

  • Doctors use genetically modified bacteria to produce insulin for diabetics.

  • CRISPR is being researched to cure genetic diseases like sickle cell anemia.
