Abstract

Biotechnology is a field that possesses vast applications in various sectors and without which life cannot be predicted. Recently health sector has shown tremendous growth due to advancements in the field of biotechnology. Biotechnology and medical diagnostics have revolutionised healthcare over the last few decades, changing how illnesses are identified and tracked. This study examines current biotechnology approaches and talks about potential future research and application avenues. Modern methods, including CRISPR/Cas9, viral vector-based treatments, and creative drug delivery systems, are highlighted. Fundamentally, biotechnology uses the innate strength of biological systems and living things to create novel solutions with wide-ranging uses. An overview of the dynamic field of biotechnology is given in this introductory abstract, which also highlights its many subfields and enormous potential. Biotechnology has led to ground-breaking developments in the medical field, such as the creation of innovative medications, gene therapies, and diagnostic instruments. Modern medical devices for diagnosis and prevention, including radiolabeled biological treatments for imaging and analysis, vaccinations, and diagnostic test kits, have been made possible by biotechnology. The advent of gene and cell therapies marks a turning point in the history of medicine. Biotechnological techniques enable the modification and delivery of genetic material for the treatment or prevention of diseases at the genetic level.

Keywords: Biotechnology, healthcare, diagnosis, applications, vaccine development
