ABSTRACT

Biotechnology has long played a key role in human civilization, for as long as beer has been brewed or bread baked, and throughout the 20th century, bacteria were used for the synthesis of chemicals, for example, amino acids, and antibiotics. The present study was aimed to review the past, present and future prospects of biotechnology in society. The, modern biotechnology, includes gene therapy, recombinant vaccines, biopharmaceuticals and the development of artificial organs and tissues for replacement or repair. The Human Genome Project’s search for information about human genetic structure attracted attention globally, and gene technology began to affect every aspect of life. The future prospects of biotechnology includes increase in GMO, Stem cell therapeutics, treatments of diseases such as cancer and AIDS, individual-specific drugs, health and nursing, Health tracking by wearable technology, Biological warfare, Genetic structure of human population, Thought-controlled artificial organs, Patient monitoring with biosensors, Creating organs with 3D printers, prevention of environmental pollution, Biosensors and replacing humans by Bio-robots. The results showed that biotechnology is not known well enough.

Keywords: biotechnology, technology, health informatics, society.
