BIOTECHNOLOGY 2020 - From the Transparent Cell to the Custom-Designed Process

Kreysa, Gerhard; Marquardt, Rüdiger, (2007)

This brochure provides a team of young experts with the opportunity to look ahead and forecast possible applications of biotechnology from now until 2020.The team of authors come from very different fields of biotechnology and had intensive discussions of the content. They chose a few particularly important examples from a huge range of new areas of research and examined these in detail, giving the reader an idea of those developments which the experts consider to be the most significant. As a crosscutting technology biotechnology is already having an impact on a large number of traditional fields. These include medicine, pharmacology, agriculture, food technology, chemistry and environmental protection. And the future holds out the possibility of many new fields of application. The brochure is less of a scientific publication than a science-based discussion of the opportunities and challenges resulting from new developments in biotechnology.
