3. Biotechnology is the practice of using plants, animals and micro- organisms such as bacteria as well as biological processes-
such as the ripening of fruit or the bacteria that break down compost- to some benefit.
WHAT Is BIOTECHNOLOGY
4. It can revolutionize agriculture, healthcare industrial processing and environmental
sustainability.
WHY BIOTECHNOLOGY?
New directions for long- term economic growth.
It has the potential of generating revenues.
5. There are 6 types of BIOTECHNOLOGY:-
Red Biotechnology Grey Biotechnology
White Biotechnology Green Biotechnology
Yellow Biotechnology Blue Biotechnology
TYPES Of BIOTECHNOLOGY
6. Red Biotechnology (biopharma) includes medicine and veterinary products, producing vaccines and antibiotics, developing new drugs,
molecular diagnostics techniques, regenerative therapies and the development of genetic engineering to cure diseases through genetic
manipulation.
RED BIOTECHNOLOGY
7. White Biotechnology relates to
industrial Biotech, designing low
resource-consuming processes and products, making them more energy efficient and less polluting than traditional ones. An example of
white Biotech is the use of microorganisms in chemical production.
7
WHITE BIOTECHNOLOGY
8. Yellow Biotechnology, has been used to refer to the use of Biotechnology in food production, for example in making wine, cheese, and
beer by fermentation.
8
YELLOW BIOTECHNOLOGY
9. Grey Biotechnology refers to
environmental applications
and is focused on the maintenance of biodiversity and the removal of pollutants/contaminants using microorganisms and plants to
isolate and dispose of different substances such as heavy metals and hydrocarbons.
GREY BIOTECHNOLOGY
10. Green Biotechnology focused on
agriculture. It include creating new plant varieties of agricultural interest, producing biofertilizers and bio pesticides. i.e. they have an
extra gene or genes inserted into their DNA.
GREEN BIOTECHNOLOGY
11. Blue Biotechnology is based
on the exploitation of marine
resources to create products and applications of industrial interest. Sea presents the greatest biodiversity, there is potentially a huge
range of sectors to benefit.
BLUE BIOTECHNOLOGY
12. There are different fields of BIOTECHNOLOGY:-
Health and Medicine Food and Agriculture
Industrial and Environmental Plant Biotechnology
AREAS/FIELDS Of
BIOTECHNOLOGY
13. Biotechnology has a variety of applications
in the field of medicine. Some of them includes the:
•Recombinant insulin
•Gene therapy
•Molecular diagnosis
•Pharmacogenomics
•Edible vaccines
•Biopharmaceuticals
HEALTH And MEDICINE
14. Biotechnology in food and agriculture has a few role to play, they are:
•Generating higher crop yields.
•Lowering volumes of agricultural chemicals.
•Using biotech crops.
•Producing foods free of allergens and toxins such as mycotoxin.
•Improving food and crop oil content.
14
FOOD And AGRICULTURE
15. Biotechnology in industrial and environmental aspect:
• Fermentation and harnesses biocatalysts.
• Recycling biomass and recovering energy.
•Minimizing waste generation.
•Generating product to protect environmental integrity.
15
INDUSTRIAL And
ENVIRONMENTAL
16. Plant biotechnology is the use of
tissue culture techniques to produce genetically
modified plants and improved desirable characteristics.
•Efforts to reduce or eliminate other undesirable components of
foods, e.g., glucosinolates in canola meal and caffeine from
coffee.
16
PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY
18. Bioinformatic tools is widely used to manage the enormous genomic
and proteomic data involving DNA/protein sequences management,
drug designing, homology modelling, motif/domain prediction
,docking, annotation and dynamic simulation.
BIOINFORMATIC
19. Genetic engineering is the direct manipulation of an organism's
genome using biotechnology.
It is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of
cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species
boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms.
19
GENETIC ENGINEERING
20. Majority of therapeutic drugs in the current market are
bioformulations, such as antibodies, nucleic acid
products and vaccines.
Pharmaceutical companies use biotechnology for:
•manufacturing drugs,
•pharmacogenomics,
•gene therapy and
•genetic testing.
20
DRUG And PHARMACY
21. Industrial microbiology or microbial biotechnology is the processing of
materials by microorganisms to create useful products or processes.It is
helpful in:
•antibiotics/antimicrobials
•vaccines
•health-care products
•food/beverages
•agriculture enzymes
•carbohydrates
21
MICROBIOLOGY
23. Biotechnology startup scenario in India has improved
tremendously in the last few years. Initiatives from Government
of India like DBT, DST, CSIR and BIRAC have encouraged
entrepreneurial individuals to establish startups.
In the recently concluded India US startup konnect in the Silicon
Valley, 35 startups were featured.
23
OTHERS
24. We have a list of the companies.
1. Aakar innovation: Navi Mumbai based startup that provides commercially viable solutions for
production, distribution and marketing of affordable and environment friendly sanitary pads.
24
2. Achira labs : Bangalore based startup that builds medical diagnostics platform to make medical
tests accessible, fast, accurate and affordable for patients around the world.
4. Curadev Pharma: Noida based drug discovery company.
3. Consure Medical : Focused on developing and commercialising novel critical care technologies.
25. 5. Forus Health care: Bangalore based technology led innovation startup that focuses on preventive
ophthalmic care.
25
6. Innoflaps: New Delhi-based startup that offers home-based therapy devices for speech impaired
people.
26. In the year 1986, the Department of Biotechnology was established by the Ministry of Science and
Technology for the development of biotechnology in India.
By the end of 2016, there were more than 1,000 biotechnology start-ups in India.
The biotechnology industry in India was valued at US$11 billion in 2016, and is forecast to grow to
$100 billion by 2025.
