1. MODERN
MEDICAL
BIOTECHNOLOGY

2. is the fusion of
genetics, cell
biology and many
other sciences in
order to further
advances in
medicine.

research

7. Principles Application Process
Mass
production of
human proteins,
vaccines, etc. by
genetically
modifying
bacteria or
viruses.
Insulin -
human protein
responsible for
lowering blood
sugar after
eating.
The human gene for
insulin is placed into
bacteria, are
cultured and allowed
to produce insulin
which is collected,
purified and sold to
diabetics worldwide.

8. Principles Application Process
Stem cells are
introduced into
a damaged
area of the
body where,
under the right
conditions, will
replace the
damaged area.
The main areas where
stem cells have proven
their worth is in bone
marrow transplants,
replacing damaged
heart tissue after a
heart attack and
replacing damaged
nerve tissue which gives
hope to anyone who has
had a spinal cord
injury.
Often times
stem cells are
grown in a lab
first to ensure
the right
conditions
and then
placed into a
sick person.

9. Principles Application Process
A form of
regenerative
medicine, tissue
engineering is
the creation of
human tissue
outside the body
for later
replacement.
For patients
suffering for
shortage of
donor organs
available for
transplanta-
tion
Cells from the
biopsy are then
cultured from
explants or a
collagenase
digestion to
create a "cell
bank".

10. Principles Application Process
To fight off
cancer cells as
these
monoclonal
antibodies can
be “trained” to
target markers
that show up on
cancer cells.
Diagnostic
tests,
Cancer
treatment,
Autoimmun
e diseases

OF
MEDICAL
BIOTECHNOLOGY

13. • TO PROLONG LIFE.
• EASE THE SUFFERING
of palliative care patients or
to increase accessibility for
people with disabilities.
