Introduction to Genetic Engineering explains the process of genetic engineering DNA and its uses. Genetic engineering is the deliberate modification of genetic material (DNA). It is used extensively in research, drug discovery, drug development, and biomanufacturing. Biotechnology is built on genetic engineering; therefore, it is a “must-know” topic for those working in or with the biopharma industry.

Suggested Prerequisites
