Biotechnology is especially important in the field of medicine, where it facilitates the producing of therapeutic proteins and other drugs. Synthetic insulin and synthetic growth hormone and diagnostic tests to find various diseases are just some examples of how biotechnology is impacting medicine. It also proved helpful in refining industrial processes, in environmental clean-up and in agricultural production. Modern technology can also include genetic engineering as well as cell and tissue culture technologies. It is the research and development in the laboratory using bioinformatics for exploration, extraction, exploitation and production from any living organisms and any source of biomass.
