3. BIOTECHNOLOGY
•Biotechnology is technology that utilizes biological systems, living organisms
or parts of this to develop or create different products.
•Brewing and baking bread are examples of processes that fall within the
concept of biotechnology.
•Use of yeast (= living organism) to produce the desired product).
Fermented Food
Beverages
Medicines
Enzymes
Vaccines
The term “Biotechnology”- by Hungarian
engineer
 Karl Erky in 1919
He describe a process for large scale
production of pigs
He is regarded by some as the “Father” of
Biotechnology

7. BIOTECHNOLOGY PRODUCTS
BLOOD PRODUCTS use for (e.g. coagulation factors) Treatment of
blood disorders such as hemophilia A or B
 VACCINES for vaccination against various diseases
 ANTIBODIES Passive immunization against various diseases
 INSULIN Treatment of diabetes mellitus
 ENZYMES Thrombolytic agents, digestive aids, debriding agents (i.e.
cleansing of wounds)
ANTIBIOTICS Treatment against various infectious agents
PLANT EXTRACTS (e.g. alkaloids)

8. BIOTECHNOLOGY SCOPE
Biotechnology is the technologies
applied to biology, molecular biology,
genetics and many other subfields of
biology.
 Biotechnology utilizes cellular and
biomolecular processes to create
technologies and products that help
improve our lives and the nature

9. Biotechnology has a long promise to
revolutionize the biological sciences,
technology and research on topics.
 Scientific application of
biotechnology in the field of genetic
engineering, medicine and
fermentation technology makes the
subject interesting.
Biotechnology is leading to new
biological revolutions in diagnosis,
prevention and cure of diseases, new
and cheaper pharmaceutical drugs.
 Biotechnology has already
produced transgenic crops and
animals and the future promises lot
more.

10. BIOTECHNOLOGY OBJECTIVES
 Importance of Monoclonal
antibiotics in industries
 Appreciate the use of
microorganisms in fermentation
technology
 To develop gene surgery and gene
therapy to cure genetic disease

12. BIOTECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS

13. PHARMACEUTICAL BIOTECHNOLOGY
PHARMACEUTICAL
SCIENCE
BIOTECHNOLOGY
Can simply be define as
the branch of science
that deals with the
formulation
compounding and
dispensing of drugs
Can simply be define as the
application of biological
system, living organisms, or
their derivatives in making or
modifying products or
processes for specific use.
Pharmaceutical biotechnology consist of the combination of two branches which are
“PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCE” AND “BIOTECHNOLOGY”.

14. THUS:
PHARMACEUTICAL BIOTECHNOLOGY: Can simply be
define as the science that covers all technologies required for the
production, manufacturing and registration of biological drugs.
The aim of this pharmaceutical biotechnology is to design, produce
drugs that are adapted to each persons genetic make up, which can
give the maximum therapeutic effect. Biotechnology plays an
important role in pharmaceutical science most especially in the
pharmaceutical industries by creation of genetically modified
organisms that can be used in industrial production.
