This course is a one-term elective that covers the fundamental priniciples and uses of biotechnology. It will survey the origin of biotechnology and how the field has evolved through the years. In particular, we will focus on the biological revolution following the discovery of DNA structure and the new life science techniques that are changing industry, medicine, agriculture and our life in general. Like other new technological advances, many applications of biotechnology have been received by some with hope and others with resistance. You will get opportunities to share your views with others and participate in debates. By the end of the term, you will have a better understanding of this fast-paced, revolutionary field and be able to form your own, informed decisions regarding different issues.
