Biotechnology has been used for thousands of years to address biological limitations. However, the development of technology was relatively stagnant until recent years where our knowledge of microorganisms, genes and other biological factors has rapidly increased.
When developing an in-depth understanding of biotechnology, it is vital to assess the legal regulations that monitor the lifecycle of biotechnology. These regulations set the standards of safety, ethical use and how biotechnologies should be created. Alongside regulations, individuals can apply for patents to protect their innovation as they establish it in practice. Patents can be used as a method to encourage innovation and gain a positive reputation throughout the desired industry.
Furthermore, it is wise to explore existing biotechnology and how it interacts within its industries. Two major biotechnologies are fermentation and biopharmaceuticals. These have revolutionised their industries, leading to immense success for all involved organisations and individuals.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
This course is designed for anyone within various industries who wishes to develop their knowledge in regard to biotechnology. It would be most beneficial for:
This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review case studies of established biotechnologies to highlight the biotechnology development process and how they may establish patents to protect their technology.
They will be provided all the necessary equipment and tools to successfully partake in a variety of learning exercises and methods including presentations, video materials, demonstrations, and group activities. This combination of activities guarantees that the participants will develop full comprehension of the taught content and related practical skills.
