Biotechnology is a dynamic field that combines biology, chemistry, genetics, and engineering to drive innovation and address global challenges. It utilises biological systems to create groundbreaking new products and technologies in healthcare, agriculture and environmental protection. It also helps pave the way for developing new drugs, improving crop yields, producing biofuels and even cleaning up polluted environments.
