Biotechnologies And Their Benefits In Medicine Today

By Peter Wilson


The modern world has been flooded with new trends and biotechnologies in the ground of medicine are among them. This field mostly involves merging living organisms with other fields like industrial agricultural and medical fields for the purpose of reaching technological advancements and breakthroughs in the involved fields.

In the year 1953, the structure of the DNA was discovered and this became the main reason why scientists took more interest in biotechnology and started to use it for research purposes and in their private companies. Biotechnology is, however, most common in medicine for the making of antibiotics and vaccines.

With the current threats, everyone is prone to exposure from diseases and viruses and with biotechnology, this becomes easier to combat. The most common instance where biotechnology proves useful is in the production of insulin which is very crucial to diabetics. Insulin was extracted from slaughtered animals before and this left people at high risks of contracting allergies and diseases.

Biotechnology is very helpful when it comes to mass production of more safe, effective and efficient medicines for almost all types of illnesses and also helps in preventing unwanted harmful reactions by the immune to the drugs which is a common occurrence when medical products from non-human sources are used.

It also helps in the bulk production of medicine that has upheld to be safer, more resourceful and efficient and can also be used to cure a wide range of diseases with better outcome.It also helps in prevention any unnecessary reactions to the drugs by the resistant system which can happen when the medical products consumed are from non-human sources.

There is proof in support of using biotechnology as India one of the leading countries in this field and has had tremendous success and is a leader in the treatment of some of the toughest diseases. She has had an amazing breakthrough and has twelve approved recombinant therapeutics for human use out of the available 30 worldwide.

India is proof to this as she is a leading global market in biotechnology and is a giant in treating ailments that are still a struggle to the rest of the world; she has had an undeniable amount of success making her among the best countries in the tuff of medicine and she has twelve recombinant therapeutics approved for human use out of the thirty available worldwide.

Biotechnology is a field with many benefits and has helped in getting of criminals using DNA testing and fingerprints scanning of the assumed victims but also has some own demerits the main one being that it is very expensive method that very few will be in a position to get help from it.
