Role Of Biotechnologies In Modern Medicine

By Peter Wilson


The turf of medicine has always been there and always will be with even better advancements thanks to the new trends being adopted with biotechnologies taking the lead. Biotechnology mainly involves incorporation of living orgasms with other fields like agricultural, industrial and medical fields for the whole purpose of achieving better results and breakthroughs.

The discovery of DNA structure in 1953 became the main foundation of growth in the field of biotechnology where scientists chose to apply it for research purposes and for beneficial uses in private organizations. However, this field is most common in medicine when it comes to the production of antibiotics and production of vaccines.

There are a lot of threats facing us today including exposure to illness and viruses but with biotechnology, all these risks become easier to curb. For the diabetics, biotechnology is very useful as it fastened insulin production and made it safer than before where they had to consume insulin extracted from slaughtered animals and were at higher risks of contracting infections and allergies.

With biotechnology, production of medicine has become safer and effective and is at bigger and higher rates than before with a very wide range of medicines being produced for a lot of diseases. This prevents harmful reactions that may attack the immune system which happens when the medical products used are from non-human sources are used.

Sometimes children can be born with genetic defects and they can be corrected using biotechnology where gene therapy can be applied and it involves applying a collection of methods that can also correct defects in embryos. This was first applied in 1990 to a little girl born with a deficiency in ADA enzyme and the nonfunctional gene was compensated for with a normal one.

Diseases that are diagnosed while still in their earlier stages become easier to treat and the chronic ones stand at higher chances of being cured. Using basic methods diagnosis becomes almost impossible but with biotechnology detection and correction is easier and the harmful body pathogens that are detected during manifestation can be detected earlier and corrected on time.

India is proof to this as she is a leading global market in biotechnology and is a giant in treating ailments that are still a struggle to the rest of the world; she has had an undeniable amount of success making her among the best countries in the tuff of medicine and she has twelve recombinant therapeutics approved for human use out of the thirty available worldwide.

Biotechnology is a field with many benefits and has helped in getting of criminals using DNA testing and fingerprints scanning of the assumed victims but also has some own demerits the main one being that it is very expensive method that very few will be in a position to get help from it.
