Medical Biotechnology Presented by Dr. Esraa Ahmed Use of Biotechnology in Medicine and Disease Treatment Diagnosis Treatment Research Rehabilitation Rapid detection Development of : Understanding Tissue engineering, of diseases disease regenerative New therapies mechanisms. medicine, and Genetic testing, prosthetics. Vaccines Identifying new Personalized targets for medicine Medications therapy Microarray technique https://youtu.be/NgRfc6atXQ8?si=URjUPs4YgsIW-c_I  Biopharmaceuticals Medicinal products derived from biological sources such as cells, proteins, or genes. Examples: Insulin Human growth hormone Vaccines Monoclonal antibodies Gene Therapy The use of genes to treat or prevent diseases by altering the expression of genes in cells. q Gene editing (e.g. CRISPR-Cas9) q Gene transfer (e.g. viral vectors) q Gene silencing (e.g. RNA interference) Applications: q Cancer treatment using gene editing and gene therapy vectors q Rare genetic disorders treatment using gene therapy vectors  Challenges ü High cost of development and treatment. ü Ethical and regulatory issues, especially in gene editing. ü Ensuring long-term safety and efficacy. Future Directions ü Continued advancement in CRISPR technology. ü Reducing costs to make therapies more accessible. ü Expanding the range of treatable conditions with gene therapy.
