Top Science and Technology Nanotechnology DNA RNA Protein Biotechnology Information technology
What is Biotechnology? • Biotechnology can be broadly defined as "using living organisms or their products for commercial purposes.” • Modern biotechnology - is the application of living organisms or their products, which involves the deliberate manipulation of their DNA molecules. • And many analysts expect the biotechnology industry will grow 40-50% each year.
Main division of biotechnology • Application of biotechnology • Pharmaceutical biotechnology • Agricultural and food biotechnology • Environmental biotechnology • Industrial Biotechnology • Scientific and methodical base of modern biotechnology: • Molecular biology • Genetic engineering
Immunology Biophysics Microbiology Biotechnology Biochemistry Technical science Molecular biology Geology Ecology Genetics Biotechnology related sciences
PERIODS OF BIOTECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT IN MONGOLIA – Биотехнологийн хөгжлийн үе шат
National Policy of Biotechnologyin Mongolia • 1986 – The first “Conception of Research and Production Development of Biotechnology until 2000 in Mongolia” • animal vaccine and diagnostic production • media, buffer, reagent, and solution preparation • animal embryo transfer • cell and tissue culture • production of nitrogenous bacterial manure
National Policy of Biotechnologyin Mongolia • 1991- First national “Biotechnology” program • 1992- 30 biotechnology project were executed by 20 different institutes and companies. Total production came up to 1600 million ₮ in every year. • 1998- Second national “Biotechnology” program • 1999- 2004 more than 30 project were executed.
Challenges • Recent years in Mongolia are growing number of biotechnology-based or biotechnology-linked companies. • Mongolia need for a facility dedicated exclusively to biotechnology research and development, which would help commercialize laboratory discoveries and technologies. • Reorganization of MBA-NGO.
