BIOTECHNOLOGY

                    BIOTECHNOLOGY 

Biotechnology is the use of an organism, or a component of an organism or other biological system, to make a product or process. Many forms of modern biotechnology rely on DNA technology. DNA technology is the sequencing, analysis, and cutting-and-pasting of DNA.

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.

A broad research and professional arena, biotechnology spans the agricultural, industrial, and medical fields. Some practitioners classify biotech areas according to color. For example, blue biotechnology refers to the study and use of marine-based essential compounds, while white biotechnology refers to industrial applications.

Biotechnology is an expanding field. New subfields continue to emerge as advances in science and technology open fresh areas of exploration and growth. Careers in biotechnology include positions in research and development, regulatory affairs and quality assurance, manufacturing, and policymaking

You must complete several stages before you can begin your career in biotechnology. While students can take different paths to achieve the same objective, the following steps outline a more traditional approach to a career as a biotechnologist
