  5. 2. Biotechnology Innovation strategies Dolly Montoya C. Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

  6. Innovation life-cycles We have been given an opportunity to become part of the development of a new world economy via interdisciplinary innovation Dolly Montoya C. Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

  7. Biotechnology This is a group of techniques using live organisms or substances coming from such organisms for: making or modifying a product; improving plants or animals; and developing microorganisms for specific uses Dolly Montoya C. Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

  8. Biotechnology Characteristics • It is knowledge or “know-how” intensive • It is interdisciplinary • Traditional processes are upgraded using current biotechnology • It embraces different production sectors Dolly Montoya C. Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

  9. Biotechnology is interdisciplinary Biology and Pure Science Law and Political Science Biotechnology Economics Engineering Human science Dolly Montoya C. Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

  11. Biotechnology’s products • Methane, ethanol, biodiesel, biomass, waste water purification, residue treatment, amino acids, organic acids, foods, acetone, buthanol, yeasts, polymers, etc Traditional biotechnology High-volume and low-value • Products obtained by genetic manipulation, gene and non-gene therapy, genetically modified plants Biotechnology in the era of genetic engineering Low-volume and high-value Transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, bioinformatics and nanobiotechnology Biotechnology in the post-genomic era Using highly complex computational models for designing and constructing metabolic pathways or even partially or totally synthetic microorganisms Biología sintética Synthetic biology: the future Dolly Montoya C. Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

  12. Biotechnology Innovation strategies • Knowledge is the key to sustainable growth; however, investment in research and development (R&D) is not enough for producing innovation. We can only talk of innovation if it is accompanied by economic growth and social wellbeing. Dolly Montoya C. Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

  13. Biotechnology Innovation strategies • Knowledge (know-how) • Skills development • Promoting a setting for innovation • Strengthening an innovative community Dolly Montoya C. Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

  14. Transforming higher education represents a challenge for the present Dolly Montoya C. Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

  15. Long-term view The university’s long-term view must take the national and international setting into consideration: The changing international setting • International treaties and interdependent relationships. • New relationships and changing roles between university-company-state, new actors. • Widening the economic and technological breach between countries and regions. Regarding the challenges of biotechnology New paradigms for the society of knowledge (know-how) • Educational: the university’s new role as a producer of know-how companies. • Technological: investment in technological development multiplies economic development. • Organisational: using strategic thinking for resolving complex problems. Ongoing innovation in all areas. • Social: knowledge reduces the social gap and produces wellbeing. Dolly Montoya C. Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

  16. Transforming higher education represents a challenge for the present University Feedback Pedagogical process Society Knowledge • Teaching • Investigation • Extension Interdisciplinary Dolly Montoya C. Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

  17. 3.0 The overall strategy for developing BiotechnologyEngineering in Biotechnology- Biotechnology in Engineering Dolly Montoya C. Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

  18. The overall strategy for developing Biotechnology • Developing the ability to formulate strategic plans • Subscribing to modern management techniques • Strengthening entrepreneurial decision-making • Developing an educational policy aimed at biotechnological education/training Dolly Montoya C. Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

  26. Synthetic Biology • Traditional Biochemistry and molecular research methods to involve to a degree of maturity and they can used for redesigned live cells, biochemical interaction and metabolic routes. • Rapid DNA synthesis must also used for constructing artificial genes and operons, leading to thinking about completely sythetic live organisms Dolly Montoya C. Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

  27. The Biotechnology of the first half of the 21st century must face great challenges 20th century: post-genomic era and the search for structures Genomic, Proteomic, Metabolomic, Transcriptomic The cell as the sum of its parts 21st century: deep understanding of biological systems ensuring their efficient use Synthetic biology Bioinformatics, systems and control theories, complex mathematical models, computational simulation, robotics, mechatronics, etc. Dolly Montoya C.
