Biotechnology Broadly defined in 1991 any technique that uses living organisms (or parts of organisms) to: 1. make or modify products, 2. improve plants or animals, 3. develop microorganisms for specific uses (Office of Technology Assessment, 1991)
New Biotechnology Technology for manipulating genetic information and manufacturing products that are of biological origin or which impact biological activity. Based on methods introduced since 1970, applied in the laboratory since 1973, used on an industrial scale since 1979.
Biotechnology Broadly defined in 2001 Technology with one or both characteristics: 1. uses organisms, or tissues, cells, or molecular components derived from living things, to act on living things 2. acts by intervening in the workings of cells or the molecular components of cells, including their genetic material. (National Research Council, Opportunities in Biotechnology for Future Army Applications, 2001)
Bioprocess Engineering Subdiscipline within biotechnology responsible for translating life-science discoveries into practical products, processes, or systems capable of serving the needs of society (National Research Council, Putting Biotechnology to Work, 1991)
