	cen-chemjobs: Job Seeker - Biotechnology
		Biotechnology is the application of biological organisms, systems, or processes by various industries to learning about the science of life and the improvement of the value of such things as crops, livestock, and pharmaceuticals.
		Biotechnology is a source of great promise for innovations ranging from improving the diagnosis and treatment of hereditary diseases, to safer drugs, to more environmentally friendly herbicides and pesticides, to microbial processes to clean up the environment.
		In addition, as more biotechnology products now in development reach the phase when they are ready for market, there will be increasing demand for chemical engineers to work on some of the production and scale-up problems of making biotechnology products in bulk, as well as bachelor's chemists for sales and marketing.

	Biotechnology Fact Sheet
		Biotechnology is an interdisciplinary field based on a combination of biology and technology to design and produce new molecules, plants, animals, and microorganisms with improved characteristics.
		Biotechnology offers seemingly unlimited opportunities to combine genes from related or unrelated species to produce useful organisms with desirable properties that were not previously found in nature.
		Biotechnology may be thought of as a collection of technologies using animal and/or plant cells, biological molecules, molecular biology processes and genetic engineering for applications in medicine, agriculture and the pharmaceutical industry.

	What is Biotechnology?
		Biotechnology in one form or another has flourished since prehistoric times.
		The discovery that fruit juices fermented into wine, or that milk could be converted into cheese or yogurt, or that beer could be made by fermenting solutions of malt and hops began the study of biotechnology.
		In its purest form, the term "biotechnology" refers to the use of living organisms or their products to modify human health and the human environment.
