What Do Biotechnology Companies Do? Biotechnology is the application of biology (the study of living organisms) to a technological outcome. The companies involved in this ground-breaking and rapidly evolving industry are seeking to profit from their innovation in a variety of fields. These areas include pharmaceuticals, agriculture, engineering, and medical science. Research and development lie at the heart of what biotechnology has to offer, so, many diverse applications in our lives. Biochemical engineering is providing new building blocks for human beings to construct our world with. Biomedical engineering is deriving new health care treatments via the synthesis of these two approaches to understanding how things work. Interdisciplinary specialisation is leading to breakthroughs in diagnosis and therapeutic solutions to health issues we face as human beings. Genetic engineering has seen the utilisation of genes to modify and manipulate cellular behaviour. DNA and Generically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are terms that have entered the modern lexicon to describe new understandings in this field. GM foods and crops have been at the forefront of the most successful biotechnology companies operating today around the globe. Biotechnological Research & Development Produce Profits Biotech companies are investing heavily into research and development in the hope of making vast profits from their game changing innovations. Companies like Ciba-Geigy and Calgene have developed virus resistant and pesticide producing crops through GM. Multinational corporation Monsanto is making billions of dollars annually from their GM agricultural products. They tightly control and license farmers to use their hybrid seeds to plant their crops. These include cotton, corn, soy and vegetable seeds. GM foods have attracted a great deal of controversy from green groups and farmers who resist their introduction on the basis of biosafety. Scientists developing genetically engineered crops have also been awarded the World Food Prize to honour their achievements in improving the quality and availability of food in the world. Genes are being removed or added to produce new versions of these plants. Transgenic, Cisgenic and Subgenic are all different types of gene modification. Studies by various scientific review journals have found that GM crops have had a positive effect on farming and agricultural production. GM crops have lower production costs, but higher seed costs, and, importantly, yield increases of between 9% and 25%. History of Biotechnology The ancients employed biotechnology through their farming applications. Domesticating wild animals into livestock was one of the earliest and most profound applications. Equally, the breeding and selection of the best crops for a particular environment was another integral historical biotechnological application. Human beings and their evolvement from a largely hunter gatherer modus operandi to an agrarian one, is a big part of our overall success as a species on this planet. Another keen example is the application of wild yeasts to brewing and breadmaking. Fermentation remains an important part of food production today, especially with the increasing popularity of a return to natural processing. Our enduring attachment to alcohol in all its many guises, with wine and beer at the forefront, remains a major biotechnological achievement, which continues to this day. Soy sauce and fish sauce are fermented to please the palates of half the world’s population. Biotechnology led to the development of antibiotics, which have saved countless millions of lives, since the beginning of the twentieth century. Biotech Companies are the Future Biotechnology companies are the future, when it comes to large investor and shareholder profits. Some say they are, also, the future, when it comes to saving the planet. Recycling and waste management are being transformed by biotech applications. Bioremediation can clean up industrial sites contaminated by toxic pollutants. Generating energy via the fermentation of organic waste into methane gases is another example. Medicine is being transformed by both genetic engineering and biopharmaceutics. Companies are discovering new medicines with which to treat diseases that have been plaguing humankind for centuries. Biotechnology is at the cutting edge of health and numerous other important aspects of our lives. Beat the Rush & Bank the Dollars.
