Biotechnology and Healthcare:
Advances in biological sciences have brought a paradigm shift in health care, which includes rapid and more sensitive diagnostic methods, treatments with fewer side effects, and new and safer vaccines. Detection of early onset of diseases and treatment has helped in improving the quality of life and life expectancy in this decade.
Agri-biotechnology:
With an increase in population and deteriorating environmental conditions, scarcity of food will be another threat in front of humankind. These challenges are being tacked with advances in biotechnological applications in crop improvement like genetic engineering, tissue culture, molecular markers, drought tolerance, disease diagnosis, and treatment, post-harvest management, etc will fulfill the needs.
Environmental Biotechnology:
The intervention of biotechnological techniques are playing a pivotal role in the management of environmental pollution. Environmental biotechnology can be used to detect, prevent and remediate the emission of pollutants into the environment in several ways.
