Biotech in Health

• It uses genetic material called viral vectors into cells to compensate for abnormal genes or to make a beneficial protein. Gene Therapy
• Works by injecting genetic code into skin cells, which turns those skin cells into the other types of cells required for treating diseases. Tissue Nanotransfection
• A tool used to determine whether the DNA from a particular individual contains a mutation.

  DNA & RNA Microarray
• The natural biochemical processes of plants or micro-organisms to clean up the environment. Bioremediation
•  

  These are drugs that targets proteins that control how cancer cells grow, divide, and spread.

  Targeted Cancer Therapies
• The father of vaccinology. Edward Jenner
• It was launched in the year 1990 and finished at the year 2003 having the goal of determining the sequence of nucleotide base pairs that make up human DNA. Human Genome Project
• The use of computer hardware and software to store, retrieve and analyze large quantities of biological data. Bioinformatics
• This is the cut and paste tool for editing DNA. CRISPR Technology
• The plant that can be grown in an abandoned mine area provided with soil amendments (growth enhancers) are applied. Jatropha

• Aducanumab is an Alzheimer’s disease drug that was sufficiently safe and effective in treating patients with cognitive impairment.
• Biotechnology is the use of artificial methods to modify the genetic material of living organisms or cells to produce novel compounds or to perform new functions.
• CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats.
• Stem cells have 2 types namely – embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells.
• Medicine is the field of health and healing that includes nurses, doctors, and various specialists.
• Molecular diagnostics are simple, rapid, relatively inexpensive and have high specificity and sensitivity.
• Communicable diseases include colds, coughs, and flu.
• Cas9 is a type of protein that acts like a pair of molecular scissors and can cut DNA.
• Virus are used in treating diseases in gene therapy.
• Alexander Fleming made a breakthrough in biotechnology in discovering Penicillin in the year 1928.
