Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Human and Animal Health Applications provides extensive coverage of new developments, state-of-the-art technologies, and potential future trends, presenting data-based scientific knowledge and information on medical biotechnological interventions for human and animal health.
Drawing on the key development areas in this field, the book reviews biotechnological advances and applications in immunotechnology, vaccines and vaccinology, combinatorial libraries, gene and cell therapy, tissue engineering, and parasite and infectious disease diagnostics. This title outlines why biotechnological techniques in these areas are useful in a clinical context and considers their potential uses, limitations, and the ethical considerations surrounding their use.
- Provides development in human and animal health due to biotechnology
- Includes immunotechnology and vaccinology
- Outlines diagnostic techniques based on tissue and metabolic engineering principles
- Considers potential uses of the various biotechnology based techniques and the ethical issues raised in their use
