Biotechnology was first proposed by Karl Ereky, a Hungarian scientist in 1919. Biotechnology is the multidisciplinary study where biological systems are manipulated to develop products for human welfare. This multidisciplinary subject is now involved in medical purposes. Biotechnology develops a collection of processes or techniques using biological systems to innovate new products and services in medical science. Those techniques are applied into industry to produce medical related products on industrial scale. Those industries are called bioindustries.
Microorganisms and enzymes related biotechnology is called conventional biotechnology. Conventional biotechnology has been used to prepare and preserve medically used products. Now this is the time of advanced biotechnology. Recombinant DNA technology, Genomics project etc. are the parts of modern advanced biotechnology. Those technologies are introduced to develop the conventional biotechnology.
Biotechnology plays important role for improving animal and human health. Biotechnologists have taken steps to alleviate major health threats in developing countries such as malaria. AIDS, tuberculosis etc. Effective drugs, vaccines and diagnostic tools are released and developed almost every day for mankind. More feed and food contain increased amount of nutrients and are supplied in the developing poor countries to prevent malnutrition. Bioindustries are the essential parts of biotechnology to expand the production of the products of biotechnology to fulfill the world population’s increasing need. The bioeconomy is now almost depending on the bioindustries.
There are two parts of bioindustries. One part is bio resource industries including crop production, forestry, horticulture, livestock etc development, in one word resource development to produce new products. Another part of bio industry is to utilize bio resource industries such as food, fiber and energy processing to produce pharmaceutical products. High industrial productivity is the greatest challenge for the development of mankind. This is the responsibility of the technologically sound and economically developed countries. Of course this is the largest change of our global economy where 96% of people are involved in biotechnological works and 88% people are working in biotechnological firm in developing countries. Biotechnological market is controlled by United States, Britain, Canada and many European countries such as Sweden, Germany, and Norway etc.
Some innovations discovered by the medical biotechnology are discussed. Asthmatic inhaler devices are developed for the patients suffering from asthma. Those inhalers regulate asthma by giving corticosteroids to the lungs whenever needed. Articular cartilage which controls the movements of the joints is advanced to prevent them from being damaged. Mechanical heart transplant is one of the most useful things for the patients suffering from severe heart diseases.
Antibody recruiting molecules control the immune system of the body to protect themselves from HIV and cancer. They are very much promising antibody molecules. Most smokers know the negative effect of smoking better than the nonsmokers. But they cannot give up smoking because of addiction. New vaccines are developed to enhance will power to give up smoking. The devastating event of pregnancy is stillbirth. New devices are produced to detect the signs of stillbirth that cannot be detected by normal testing systems. Rheos high blood pressure therapy is applied to individuals to prevent drug resistant hypertension. Radiation may increase the risk of cancer. So new radiation devices are introduced which are free from those risks. Medical science is dominated by those types of innovations which are the gifts of medical biotechnology.
