Medical Biotechnology

Medical biotechnology is a branch of medicine that uses living cells and cell materials to research and then produce pharmaceutical and diagnosing products. These products help treat and prevent diseases. The main aim of medical biotechnology is the Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatment of diseases. Medical Biotechnology principles are applied in pharmacology, gene therapy, stem cells and tissue engineering. It is a rapidly evolving field integrating knowledge obtained in molecular, cell biological, genetic and immunological scientific areas. The medical biotechnology field has helped bring to market microbial pesticides, insect-resistant crops, and environmental clean-up techniques. This discovery was the result of research studies related to deoxyribonucleic acid. Many scientists in the medical biotechnology field study genetic engineering which involves isolating, identifying and sequencing the human genes to determine their functions.
