    PRESENTATION
    OF GROUP 5
    BIOTECHNOLOGY
    INTRODUCTION

    Biotechnology is technology that utilizes


    biological systems, living organisms or parts of
    this to develop or create different products.
    Brewing and baking bread are examples of
    processes that fall within the concept of
    biotechnology
    Medical biotechnology

     is a branch of medicine that uses living


    cells and cell materials to research, and
    then produce pharmaceutical and
    diagnosing products. 
    What is a Stem cell THERAPY ?

    .
    Stem-cell therapy is the use of stem cells
    to treat or prevent a disease or condition.
    BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT

    Doctors have performed stem cell


    transplants, also known as bone marrow
    transplants.
    STEM CELL ON HEART

    According to a new research, stem cell


    therapy was used on heart disease
    patients. It was found that it can make
    their coronary arteries narrower
    What are the Advantages of Stem Cell therapy ?

     It provides medical benefits in the fields of


    therapeutic cloning and regenerative medicine.
     It provides great potential for discovering
    treatments and cures to a variety of diseases
     Scientists and doctors will be able to test millions
    of potential drugs and medicine, without the
    use of animals or human testers.
    What are the disadvantages of stem cell therapy?

     The use of embryonic stem cells for


    research involves the destruction of
    blastocysts formed from laboratory-fertilized
    human eggs.
     A disadvantage of most adult stem cells is
    that they are pre-specialized
    FUTURE RESEARCHES ON STEM CELL

    Researchers haven't been able to successfully


    perform therapeutic cloning with humans
    despite success in a number of other species.
    WHAT IS A Gene Therapy?

    Gene therapy is an experimental form of


    treatment that uses gene transfer of genetic
    material into the cell of a patient to cure
    the disease.
    GENE THERAPY

    The first human to receive


    gene therapy treatment was a
    4 year old girl with severe
    immune-deficiency disease.
    What are the advantages of gene therapy?

     1. It offers the possibility of a


    positive medical outcome.

     2. We can treat disease or illness


    in meaningful ways.

     3. Gene therapy could be useful


    in the treatment of multiple
    diseases.

     4. The medical impact of gene


    therapy can create permanent
    results.
    What are the disadvantages of gene
    therapy?

    Unwanted immune system


    reaction.
    Targeting the wrong cells.
    Infection caused by the
    virus.
    Possibility of causing a
    tumor.
    FUTURE ADVANCEMENTS OF GENE THERAPY

    While the potential for these


    early gene therapy successes
    ,next-generation technologies are
    dramatically expanding
    Genitically Modified Organisms (GMO)

    A GMO, or genetically modified organism, is


    a plant, animal, microorganism or other
    organism whose genetic makeup has been
    modified in a laboratory
    GMO APPLICATIONS

    Most of the GMO crops grown today were


    developed to help farmers prevent crop loss.
    The three most common traits found in
    GMO crops are:

     Resistance to insect damage


     Tolerance to herbicides
     Resistance to plant viruses
    WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF GMO?

    They allow for more profit.


    They add more value to crops.
    They are known to decrease the
    prices of food.
    They yield products that are
    found to be safe.
    WHAT ARE THE DISADVANTAGES OF GMO?

     They threaten crop diversity.


     They would make plants that
    leave unwanted residual effects to
    remain in the soil for a long
    period of time.
     They can pose a threat to the
    insects that are important to the
    ecosystem.
