Biotechnology

Biotechnology is a broad area of biology, involving the use of living systems

and organisms to develop or make products. Depending on the tools and

applications, it often overlaps with related scientific fields. In the late 20th

and early 21st centuries, biotechnology has expanded to include new and

diverse sciences, such as genomics, recombinant gene techniques,

applied immunology, and development of pharmaceutical therapies

and diagnostic tests.
