Biotechnology: Principles and Applications

Biotechnology covers the principles and processes of recombinant DNA technology, and its applications in agriculture, medicine and industry, including transgenic organisms, gene therapy, and ethical/biosafety issues. IAT expects precise understanding of molecular tools (restriction enzymes, vectors, PCR, gel electrophoresis) and applied case studies (Bt cotton, golden rice, insulin production, gene therapy).
