Overview:

The Biology of Biotech is the perfect place to start your journey into understanding the world of biotechnology. This foundational class offers invaluable insights into the science behind groundbreaking medical advancements. It provides a comprehensive understanding of DNA, proteins, and cells, explaining how they are manipulated to create innovative therapies and diagnostic tools. It also highlights the connection between genetic mutations and diseases, offering valuable insights into disease diagnosis and treatment. The Biology of Biotech equips learners with the necessary knowledge to navigate the complex field of biotechnology.

  • Section 1: The Cell: The Biotech Advantage: Demonstrates how biotechnology takes advantage of processes that already exist in the human body to create new products.
  • Section 2: DNA & Proteins: The Biotech Workhorse Correlates the relationship between DNA and proteins, and how the cellular process of protein synthesis is used to create medicines.
  • Section 3: Genetic Variation: Understanding Disease: Explains how mutations lead to genetic variation which sometimes triggers disease. Knowledge of genetic variation is the first step to improving disease diagnosis and treatment.


By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  1. Develop a comprehensive understanding of DNA, RNA, and proteins in the context of biotechnology. 
  2. Become well-versed in the process of gene expression. 
  3. Demonstrate knowledge of cell structure and function and how scientists manipulate cells to develop new products. 
  4. Define genetic variation and explain its role in disease. 
  5. Explore the connection between genetic mutations and diseases and acquire valuable insights into disease diagnosis and treatment.
