Page "Biotechnology" Paragraph 3

Biotechnology draws on the pure biological sciences ( genetics, microbiology, animal cell culture, molecular biology, biochemistry, embryology, cell biology ) and in many instances it is also dependent on knowledge and methods from outside the sphere of biology ( chemical engineering, bioprocess engineering, information technology, biorobotics ).

Conversely, modern biological sciences ( including even concepts such as molecular ecology ) are intimately entwined and dependent on the methods developed through biotechnology and what is commonly thought of as the life sciences industry.

In simpler term, Biotechnology is the research and development in the laboratory that involves bioinformatics for exploration, extraction, exploitation and production from any living organisms and any source of biomass by means of biochemical engineering where high value-added products could be planned ( reproduced by Biosynthesis, for example ), fore-casted, formulated, developed, manufactured and marketed for the purpose of sustainable operations ( for the return from bottomless initial investment on R & D ) and gaining durable patents rights ( for exclusives rights for sales, and prior to this to receive national and international approval from the results on animal experiment and human experiment, especially on the pharmaceutical branch of biotechnology to prevent any undetected side-effects on safety concerns by using the products ), for more about the biotechnology industry, see.
