My fascination with the world of medicine was further propelled by the Biotechnology program at my high school. One of my favorite courses at McKinley‚ Biotechnology I‚ broadened my knowledge of prominent diseases and medical practices; from watching live Cardiothoracic surgery at George Washington Hospital to performing a polymerase chain reaction‚ my ongoing intrigue

The genetically modified drugs manufactured using recombinant biotechnology‚ which act as tPAs are known as rt-PAs (Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator).The three main types of rt-PA includes alteplase‚ reteplase and tenecteplase.

statement about genetically engineered food being the means to end hunger around the world is gaining momentum as the population continues to increase and people continue to die of starvation. In the biotech world‚ what is known as agricultural biotechnology‚ supporters believe that this could guarantee and maintain food security for the hungry. On the other hand many people have concerns over consuming genetically engineered food. Many foods on the market today contain some part of GM (genetically

ABSTRACT Biotechnology in the form of genetic engineering lends a variety of potential benefits as well as risks. It has improved the production of food by making plants tolerant or resistant to drought‚ frost‚ insects and viruses and also helped plants to compete more effectively against weeds for soil nutrients. The use of genetic engineering however has raised concerns about its potential risks to human life and the environment. The yield‚ the use of nutritive substances and resistance to diseases

Case Analysis: Genzyme’s CSR Dilemma: How to Play its HAND. Background Considered a leader in the biotechnology industry‚ Genzyme has come a long way since its inception as a supplier of basic chemicals and reagents in 1981. As a leader in the development of orphan drugs‚ Genzyme realized revenues of almost $4B in 2007. Greater than 30% of its revenue in 2007 is attributed to the sales of drugs that target orphan diseases‚ such as Cerezyme‚ a novel Genzyme drug used to treat Gaucher disease

Next‚ using the BLAST algorithm from the National Center for Biotechnology Information website‚ I determined the percentage of the amino acids that matched between the flu viruses and the vaccines. This represents the degree of the match. Then‚ I collected surveillance data for the corresponding years from the CDC website

by deletions or duplications of genes. According to researchers‚ “Microdeletions and microduplications have been found to be three times more common in individuals with schizophrenia‚ compared to controls” (“Schizophrenia‚” National Center for Biotechnology Information). The majority of the gene mutations occur in over expressed pathways that are involved in the development of the brain. The inheritance of these genes may be one factor that leads to the development of schizophrenia. There was a study
