                  BIOINFORMATICS   Bioinformatics is a broad multidisciplinary field that combines biology, computer science, statistics and mathematics to analyze and interpret biological data, particularly DNA, RNA and proteins. This branch mainly analyses biological data and develop new software using biological tools. It is mainly used to extract knowledge from biological data through the development of algorithms and software. Bioinformatics has broad applications including genome sequencing, gene expression analysis, protein structure prediction, drug discovery, personalized medicines, etc. A significant application of bioinformatics can be found in the fields of precision and preventive drug which are mainly focused on developing measures to prevent, control and cure dreadful infectious diseases.  IILM University, Greater Noida , offers a bachelor of technology (B.Tech) in bioinformatics as an undergraduate program of 4-year ...

                    Food Technology  Food technology is a branch of science that deals with the application of science that refers to the technology involved for processing, preservating, packaging and distribution of food. It works to develop new food products, improve the existing and find ways to increase the shelf life. Extensive research goes on to make the product more nutritious before making it available in the market. Food technology is playing a significant role to produce a wide variety and distribute them worldwide.  Engineering in food processing and technology focuses on combining the principles of food science, chemistry and microbiology which imparts knowledge required for a career in food industry.  Basic techniques and technologies used  in food industries are thermal processing such as canning and pasteurization, high pressure processing , freezing, pasteurization ,fermentation, addition of preserva...

  APPLICATION OF BIOTECHNOLOGY IN DAILY LIVES We must have heard the term ‘Biotechnology’, but a few know the actual meaning of what is actually biotechnology. Biotechnology is defined as application of scientific and engineering principles to the processing of material by biological agents to provide goods and services.  Now we can discuss the applications of biotechnology in various fields:- Application in medicine: Every pharmaceutical is derived from systems of organisms such as yeast, plant, fungus and bacteria or any other biological system. Medicines, vaccinations, any other medical drug is using technologies like PCR, RNA Recombination techniques and various methods. For diabetic patients, insulin is derived from sheep to meet the body’s insulin requirements. Even organ transplantations, cell therapies, tissue cultures are all done through biotechnology but with certain rules and regulations. Recombinant DNA technologies help in the mass production of safe and more eff...
