Agricultural biotechnology and your dinner table

Agricultural biotechnology has successfully altered the food that we eat and even the way that we eat it. Scientists have produced cows that make more milk and in turn, are able to make that milk last longer in our refrigerators. They have used plant biotechnology to grow bigger, longer lasting vegetables. They have even produced … Continue reading

Biotechnology Companies and cancer

Biotechnology companies are one of the many places where extensive cancer research is being performed. Biotechnology encompasses many areas of scientific and medical research. For instance, researchers at a biotechnology company may study the genetic components associated with cancer. For example, they may study which genes are found to cause lung cancer. In turn, they … Continue reading
