Biochemical Technology and Engineering
Biotechnology and industrial biochemistry are fundamental areas of biochemical engineering, driving innovation in various sectors. These disciplines use biological systems, such as enzymes, microorganisms and plant or animal cells, to transform raw materials into high value-added products.
In the pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology enables the production of monoclonal antibodies, vaccines and gene therapies, while in the chemical industry, modified enzymes optimize the manufacture of bioplastics and biofuels. Industrial fermentation and metabolic engineering also enable the synthesis of bioactive compounds with a lower environmental impact.
In addition, the integration of technologies such as synthetic biology and artificial intelligence has accelerated the creation of new bioprocesses, making them more efficient and sustainable. Thus, industrial biotechnology is consolidating itself as an essential solution to global challenges, promoting innovations in health, food and renewable energy.
