Arzaga‚ Eunisse C. BSA1FHC APPLICATION OF BIOTECHNOLOGY Medicine In medicine‚ modern biotechnology finds applications in areas such as pharmaceutical drug discovery and production‚ pharmacogenomics‚ and genetic testing (or genetic screening). Pharmacogenomics (a combination of pharmacology and genomics) is the technology that analyses how genetic makeup affects an individual’s response to drugs. It deals with the influence of genetic variation on drug response in patients by correlating gene expression or single-nucleotide
