Biotechnology is one of the fields that can support the society in searching for advances in diagnostics and treatments for diseases, improvements to our agricultural products and development of the environment.

Biotechnology is based on Biology and Chemistry. Biology is the study of life and living organisms which includes the study of genes and cells. Chemistry is the study of physical science, compositions, structures and all matters made up of atoms. Therefore, biotechnology is the process that develops products that helps to improve the lives and the health of the earth.
