Biotechnology fuel global Demand

Biotechnology researcher nowadays are looking for the suitable substance to switch form Oil to an organic fuel or biotech fuel the main reason for that the threats that face the world in case the main countries who export oil or the region around it get in to some clashes or run out of oil , also to find suitable and safe for the environment or what they call it environment friendly energy , that will lower the damage form the nuclear energy station and other resources of energy .
And there is a big demand for the jobs market for students who graduated from university that support or encourage biotechnological research among her staff and students

Biotechnology in food and consumer products : Islamic Perspective

biotehcnology seminar :12 December 2007
Biotechnology it’s a new phenomena in the whole world , due to its massive application and its direct effect on people and the food they consume IIUM will conduct a national seminar , in this seminar researchers will talk about biotechnology form Islamic perspective , that will include halal food , medicine , materials around us ,
The main objectives of this biotechnology seminar are: as mentioned in the website of the IIUM :
Create a platform to discuss common concerns on the implications of biotechnology for food and consumer products.
Create an awareness of Muslim consumers and the public at large about biotechnology in food and products.
Work out general Islamic guidelines on the production and halal status of genetically modified food and products.

Opponents of Biotechnology

Although talking about biotechnology engineering seems to be very promising, there are opponents to some of its applications. For example; genetic modified food and cloning of animals and humans which have attracted the attention of many societies that refuse to accept it. More over, cloning of animals has been considered as prohibited in some religions.

In conclusion, biotechnology engineering is considered as an emerging technology that contributes to the maximization of human benefit especially for the developed and poor countries. Its most attribute is increasing the production scale within the economical considerations while minimizing the pollution and energy consumption. Biotechnology also offers a variety of job opportunities in many fields starting from working in labs going to the chemical plants and agricultural fields

Applications of Biotechnology engineering

The wide applications of biotechnology engineering and the first to be known are the agricultural applications which include the elimination of plant diseases, increasing the productivity or adjusting the color, taste or shape of plants. Furthermore, biotechnology engineering has contributed a lot to the environmental management through the prevention or reduction of pollutant levels in water, air and soil.

The techniques and procedures which are employed in biotechnology are more that what can be listed or counted, however, some techniques are considered as the building blocks of biotechnology engineering. The first which is considered as the heart of biotechnology is genetic engineering which is basically the rearrangement of the genetic material by inserting, deleting or changing the order of genes in an organism. Genetic engineering is the science by which recombinant technology, cloning and fingerprinting are performed.

What is Biotechnology engineering

Biotechnology engineering is a combination of physical, chemical and biological aspects of science. It is any technique that uses living organisms or parts of living organisms to make or modify products, improve plants or animals, or develop microorganisms for specific uses.

Biotechnology engineering is not a single science nor a single procedure, technique or process. Rather, it involves a multitude of biotechnological techniques that draw upon all the sciences, as well as engineering. Consequently, there is no single educational track that will prepare a student for a career in biotechnology.

Biotechnology can be grouped into three general categories: human health care, agriculture and animal health care and energy and environmental management. It offers an alternative to the conventional drugs replacing it with organic-based medicines that doesn’t cause side effects and may be produced in large scale within the economical cost. Besides that, biotechnology engineers are able of producing alternative organs which imply a future of no-more suffer of desperate disabled and injured people.
