Biotechnology in Medicine

The video discusses the impact of biotechnology in medicine, known as red biotechnology. It highlights the use of recombinant DNA technology for producing safe drugs and human proteins like insulin. Molecular diagnostics, including PCR and ELISA, are explained for early disease detection. The video also covers gene therapy, detailing its application in treating genetic disorders like ADA deficiency. The production of human insulin using genetically engineered bacteria is presented as a success story.
