A bundle of techniques applied to living cells is what we call Biotechnology.
Biotechnologists engineer these living cells to produce a particular product of improved
quality. Biotechnology is the exploitation of natural resources at the microbial and molecular
level to produce a product of improved quality for the benefit of mankind. The work Bio
technologists do is in a variety of sectors eg. agriculture, pharmaceuticals, medicine,
environment etc.
