Biotechnology Fundamentals discusses classical andmodern aspects of biotechnology and examines arange of topics, from basic information to complextechnicalities. Other books cover subjects individually,but this text offers a rare topical combination of cov-erage, using numerous illustrations to explore theinformation that students and researchers need tointelligently shape their careers.

Keeping pace with the rapid advancementof the field, topics covered include:

• How biotechnology products are produced

• Differences between scientific research conduct-ed in universities and industry

• Which areas of biotechnology offer the best andmost challenging career opportunities

• Key laboratory techniques and protocolsemployed in the field

The contents of this book are derived from discussionsbetween teachers and undergraduate students anddesigned to address the concepts and methodsthought useful by both sides. Starting with the funda-mentals of biotechnology, coverage includes defini-tions, historical perspectives, timelines, and major dis-coveries, in addition to products, research and devel-opment, career prospects, ethical issues, and futuretrends.

The author explains that even before it had been clas-sified as its own field, biotechnology was alreadybeing applied in plant breeding, in vitro fertilization,alcohol fermentation, and other areas. He then delvesinto new developments in areas including stem cellresearch, cloning, biofuels, transgenic plants, geneti-cally modified food/crops, pharmacogenomics, andnanobiotechnology. Incorporating extensive peda-gogy into the content, this book provides plenty ofexamples, end-of-chapter problems, case studies, andlab tutorials to help reinforce understanding.
