Biotech

Biology

What can biotech be used for

gene therapy for genetic disorders, can be used to transform bacteria so they are able to make human proteins,

Whats a cytokine

a small protein that helps fight diseases

How do you use cytokine to transform bacteria?

The first human protein to be produced through genetic engineering

insulin

what is Pharmacogenomics

Researchers are beginning to look at how to tailor medical treatments to our genetic profiles, in a relatively new field

what is Synthetic Biology

making biology easier to engineer so that new functions can be derived from living systems. 

Agriculture related to biotech

used to create transgenic crops. Transgenic crops are genetically modified with new genes that code for traits useful to humans

how are transgenic crops made
