After successful launching of first and second editions of
Biotechnology Fundamentals, we thought let us find out the feedbacks
from our esteemed readers, faculty members, and students about their
experiences and after receiving their suggestions and recommendation
we thought it would be great idea to write 3rd edition of the book.
Being a teacher of biotechnology, I always wanted a book which covers
all aspects of biotechnology, right from basics to applied and
industrial levels. In our previous editions, we have included all
topics of biotechnology which are important and fundamentals for
students learning. One of the important highlights of the book that it
has dedicated chapter for the career aspects of biotechnology and you
may agree that many students eager to know what are career prospects
they have in biotechnology. There are a great number of textbooks
available that deal with molecular biotechnology, microbial
biotechnology, industrial biotechnology, agricultural biotechnology,
medical biotechnology, or animal biotechnology independently; however,
there is not a single book available that deals with all aspects of
biotechnology in one book. Today the field of biotechnology is moving
with lightening speed. It becomes very important to keep track of all
those new information which affect the biotechnology field directly or
indirectly. In this book, I have tried to include all the topics which
are directly or indirectly related to fields of biotechnology. The
book discusses both conventional and modern aspects of biotechnology
with suitable examples and gives the impression that the field of
biotechnology is there for ages with different names; you may call
them plant breeding, cheese making, in vitro fertilization, alcohol
fermentation is all the fruits of biotechnology. The primary aim of
this book is to help the students to learn biotechnology with
classical and modern approaches and take them from basic information
to complex topics. There is a total of 21 chapters in this textbook
covering topics ranging from an introduction to biotechnology, genes
to genomics, protein to proteomics, recombinant DNA technology,
microbial biotechnology, agricultural biotechnology, animal
biotechnology, environmental biotechnology, medical biotechnology,
nanobiotechnology, product development in biotechnology, industrial
biotechnology, forensic science, regenerative medicine, biosimialars,
synthetic biology, biomedical engineering, computational biology,
ethics in biotechnology, careers in biotechnology, and laboratory
tutorials. All chapters begin with a brief summary followed by text
with suitable examples. Each chapter illustrated by simple line
diagrams, pictures, and tables. Each chapter concludes with a question
session, assignment, and field trip information. I have included
laboratory tutorials as a separate chapter to expose the students to
various laboratory techniques and laboratory protocols. This practical
information would be an added advantage to the students while they
learn the theoretical aspects of biotechnology.
