BIOMIMCRY AND BIOTECHNOLOGY

The rapid development in biotechnology has revolutionized the prospects of biological and medicinal research in the past decennia.

Genetic engineering is a relatively new technique but is rapidly advancing.

Including emerging knowledge about its applicable possibilities and by taking necessary safety management into account, biotechnology can possibly complement biomimicry in obtaining sustainable solutions.
