Description
This course explores the exciting world of biotechnology, where biology meets technology to address real-world problems in health, agriculture, and the environment. Students will begin with a strong foundation in molecular biology, including DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, followed by an in-depth look at genetic engineering, CRISPR technology, and cloning. The course examines key applications such as the development of vaccines, genetically modified crops, biofuels, and biopharmaceuticals. Students will learn about laboratory techniques like PCR, gel electrophoresis, and DNA sequencing, as well as the ethical and regulatory considerations surrounding biotechnology research and innovation. Through multimedia lectures, case studies, and practical exercises, learners will gain a deeper understanding of how biotech is revolutionizing medicine, farming, and industry. The course is suitable for students interested in biology, healthcare, or scientific innovation, and provides a stepping stone toward more advanced studies in the life sciences.
