The field of biotechnology focuses on the intersection of biology and technology–leading to new products that are designed to enrich lives, ease day-to-day life and support healthier living. Early biotechnological advances included selective breeding and hybridization to create the fruits and vegetables we’re familiar with today. Currently, students pursuing biotechnology degrees will learn to explore and manipulate living organisms for the purpose of invention and/or improving products. From vaccine production to genetic modification and tissue culture, biotechnology is everywhere.
