Biotecnología

Biotechnology is a scientific discipline that utilizes biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof to develop or create products and technologies aimed at improving human life and the environment. It encompasses a wide range of techniques, including genetic engineering, molecular biology, cell culture, and bioprocessing. Biotechnology is applied in various fields such as medicine, agriculture, environmental management, and industrial processes. In medicine, it is used to produce vaccines, diagnostics, and therapies. In agriculture, it involves the development of genetically modified crops for increased yield and resistance to pests. Additionally, biotechnology plays a crucial role in addressing environmental issues through bioremediation and the sustainable production of biofuels. The ethical implications and regulatory aspects of biotechnology are also important considerations in its application.
