Introduction In an era marked by rapid technological innovation, the boundaries between biology and technology are increasingly blurred. Among the most fascinating developments is the field of biohacking and human augmentation—disciplines focused on enhancing human capabilities beyond natural limits using science, technology, and self-experimentation. These fields promise to transform the human experience by improving physical…
Introduction Synthetic biology is a rapidly emerging interdisciplinary field that fuses biology, engineering, genetics, chemistry, and computer science to design and construct new biological parts, systems, and organisms. Unlike traditional genetic engineering, which modifies existing biological systems, synthetic biology aims to build entirely new systems from the ground up or redesign existing ones to perform…
Introduction Agriculture has been the backbone of human civilization, providing sustenance and economic stability. With the rise in global population, increasing food demand, and environmental challenges, conventional farming methods are often insufficient to meet these needs. This is where biotechnology steps in, offering innovative solutions to enhance crop productivity, pest resistance, and sustainability. However, the…
Introduction The advent of CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) has revolutionized genetic engineering, offering precise, efficient, and cost-effective gene-editing capabilities. Originally discovered as a bacterial defense mechanism against viruses, CRISPR-Cas9 technology has opened new frontiers in medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. However, alongside its potential benefits, CRISPR raises significant ethical and policy concerns, necessitating…
