Modern Biotechnology: Defining and Solving Human Problems by Stephanie Stockwell

By Stephanie Stockwell

Biotechnology is an interesting interdisciplinary box uniquely poised to tackle a number of the world’s most complicated difficulties. With this thesis at its center, glossy Biotechnology: Defining and fixing Human difficulties takes a clean problems-based method of exploring the sphere. amateur readers will come away with a large appreciation for the importance of present and rising biotechnologies—from regenerative medication, to genetically greater plants, to biofuels. specialists will enjoy the concise evaluate of well timed game-changing applied sciences resembling DNA sequence-by-synthesis and clustered frequently interspaced brief palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein-9 nuclease-mediated genome enhancing applied sciences. regardless of being set inside a conceptual framework of “wicked” difficulties (i.e., illness, nutrients creation, environmental spoilage), insights into the present kingdom and destiny strength of biotechnologies make this e-book either positive and ahead pondering. this isn't simply an informative text—it’s a leaping off element for enticing with a self-discipline that has the aptitude to alter the world.
