Biotechnology is defined as the industrial application of living organisms and their biological processes such as biochemistry, Microbiology, and Genetic engineering, in order to make best use of the Microorganisms for the benefit of mankind. Modern biotechnology provides breakthrough products and technologies to combat debilitating and rare diseases, reduce our environmental footprint, feed the hungry, … Read more
Production of modern Vaccines Live Attenuated Vaccines Live vaccines are derived from “wild,” or disease-causing, viruses or bacteria. These wild viruses or bacteria are attenuated, or weakened, in a laboratory, usually by repeated culturing. For example, the measles virus used as a vaccine today was isolated from a child with measles disease in 1954. Almost … Read more
Traditional methods of vaccine production The first human Vaccines against viruses were based using weaker or attenuated viruses to generate immunity. The smallpox vaccine used cowpox, a poxvirus that was similar enough to smallpox to protect against it but usually didn’t cause serious illness. Rabies was the first virus attenuated in a lab to create … Read more

Unlocking Life’s Code: A Deep Dive into Genetic Engineering Approaches Genetic engineering, the deliberate modification of an organism’s genetic makeup, has revolutionized our understanding of life and its potential applications. From developing disease-resistant crops to crafting life-saving therapies, the field has witnessed remarkable progress, driven by a diverse array of approaches. This article delves into … Read more
Genetic engineering is the process of modifying an organism’s genome using biotechnology. This can be done for a variety of purposes, such as improving crop yields, developing new medicines, or creating biofuels. There are a number of different genetic engineering approaches that can be used, depending on the desired outcome. Some of the most common … Read more
