2.  Biotechnology
 Medicine
 Biotechnology and Medical Science
 Molecular Medicine in the Era of
Biotechnology

3.  The Next Generation Biological Science.
 The study and use of living organisms or cell
processes to make useful products.
 The term evolved as biotechnology advanced
in different areas
 Drug development
 Human and animal nutrition
 Agricultural improvements
 Environmental protection

4.  Medicine is the science and practice of
 Diagnosis
 Treatment
 Prevention of disease.
 Homeopathic Medicine
 Allopathic Medicine

12.  Gene therapy
 Pharmacogenomics
 Genetic testing
 Drug delivery and targeting

13.  Gene therapy is one more technique of
biotechnologies which is used to delicacy and
diagnoses diseases like cancer and Parkinson's
disease.
 The apparatus of this technique is that the fit
genes are under attack in the body which either
obliterate the injured cells or replace them.
 In some cases, the fit genes make corrections in
the genetic information and that is how the
genes start performance in the favor of the
body.

15. Gene therapy is being used for
 ADA (adenosine deaminase)
 Hematopoietic diseases
 PKU
 Cystic fibrosis

16.  Drug-gene testing is called Pharmacogenomics,
or Pharmacogenetics
 How body responses to certain medications
 The study of genes that code for enzymes that
metabolize drugs
 and the design of tailor-made drugs adapted to an
individual's genetic make-up

18.  Monoclonal antibodies (mAb or moAb) are
antibodies that are made by identical immune
cells that are all clones of a unique parent cell.
 Have monovalent affinity, in that they bind to
the same epitope
 Used for
 Diagnosis
 Cancer Treatment
 Analytical procedure
 Therapeutic Treatment
