RESEARCH ON BIOTECHNOLOGY

Research on Biotechnology for more strategic market resarch information in the competitive world and knowledge driven and dynamic market place, factual insights and market forecasts of the biotechnology industry, maximum global coverage that is required for strengthening business
and tracking current market trends based on specialized market analysis in the biotechnology.

FOOD BIOTECHNOLOGY

Food Biotechnology is considered as R&D proposals in various areas of food processing using biotechnological approaches. These included preparation of tropical fruit juices and food additives .Large scale production of various species of mushrooms and food from seaweeds and Xanthan gum and on areas of food safety. Development of low cost nutritious food supplements for malnourished is easy. A network programme on the modification of fats and oils using biotechnological approaches was initiated in this program . Apart from the above activities, some universities in different regions of the world were identified for strengthening of food biotechnology research and training.

BIOLOGY AND TECHNOLOGY

Bio-Technology is a research oriented science, a combination of Biology and Technology. It covers a wide variety of subjects like Genetics, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Immunology, Virology, Chemistry and Engineering and is also concerned with many other subjects like Health and Medicine, Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, Cropping system and Crop Management, Ecology, Cell Biology, Soil science and Soil Conservation, Bio-statistics, Plant Physiology, Seed Technology etc. Bio-Technology is the use of living things, especially cells and bacteria in industrial process. There is a great scope in this field as the demand for biotechnologist are growing in India as well as abroad.

FUTURE OF BIOTECHNOLOGY

the future of the recent emphasis on environmental awareness has challenged scientists to find solutions for better and safer living conditions. The added threat of technology deadly diseases such as AIDS and resistant strains of tuberculosis and gonorrhea have forced scientists to look for new therapies within the field of biotechnology.

The structure of DNA was deciphered by James Watson, a geneticist, and Francis Crick, a physicist, thus marking the beginning of molecular biology in the early 20th century. Their determination of the physical structure of the DNA molecule became the foundation for modern biotechnology, enabling scientists to develop new tools to improve the future of mankind.
The Human Genome Project is a major biotechnological endeavor, the aim of which is to make a detailed map of human DNA. The hereditary instructions inscribed in DNA guide the development of the human being from fertilized egg cell to death. The genetic markers for over 4500 diseases caused by single mutant genes have been mapped.Whatever the future of these particular ventures, it seems molecular biology and biotechnology will be important sciences of the coming century.

GENETIC TESTING

This publication presents the results of a survey of over 900 genetic testing laboratory directors in 20 OECD countries. It covers questions such as types of laboratory policies and practices in place to assure the quality of human genetic testing and the proficiency of those that carry out such tests in the technolgy. It includes information on policies regarding samples and genetic data handling, as well as the transborder flow of specimens.

BIOTECHNOLOGY

Biotechnology is having an increasingly important impact on a number of sectors and disciplines more in the jobs . OECD has been working on biotechnology-related topics for over 27 years. These include scientific, industrial, health and agricultural applications. It also has a strong record on safety issues in biotechnology.lets discuss the future of the biotechnology
