Biotechnology technology advances

The small NBS program in chemical engineering should receive substantially greater funding to fulfill critical needs for evaluated data and predictive models. The committee supports NBS plans to focus on data needs in emerging technology areas such as biotechnology and advanced materials. 

Rapid technological advances in the biological sciences raises complex patenting issues, and patenting law as applied to modern biotechnology is still evolving. 

Gore s attitudes toward biotechnology are consistent with his views of science generally, which he presents in Earth in the Balance,3 Throughout the book, he employs the damning comparison that those who believe in technological advances are as sinister, and polluters are as evil, as the perpetrators of the World 5...

Technological advances in both biotechnology and molecular biology have yielded a surge in the number of new chemical entities that are produced to treat specific diseases or ailments. However, a growing portion of these new chemical entities display poor aqueous solubility, leading to poor oral bioavailability and an inability to form intravenous formulations. Nanoparticle formation has been proposed and utilized as a method to improve oral bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs and as a method for delivery of particles via parenteral, pulmonary, and topical administration.

Assessment of a patient s immune function requires consideration of multiple components, including mechanical defenses, cell phenotypes and cell numbers, and soluble components. Recent developments in biotechnology made possible extraordinary progress in the characterization of immune function. Despite the technological advances, careful patient evaluations are required to assess the structure and function of the immune system accurately. Specific methods for assessment of patient immune status are discussed below.
