Biotechnology is the branch of science which deals about the benefits and application of plants, animals and microbial cell cultures at the technological level. Today, biotechnology covers many different disciplines (eg genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, etc.). New technologies and products are developed every year within the areas of eg medicine (development of new medicines and therapies), agriculture (development of genetically modified plants, biofuels biological treatment) or industrial biotechnology (production of chemicals, paper, textiles and food).
