Path biotechnology
Path biotechnology
Path biotechnology refers to the application of pathogen-related knowledge and components for beneficial purposes in various biotechnological, medical, and agricultural contexts. It involves harnessing the properties, mechanisms, or products of pathogens (microorganisms that can cause diseases) to develop innovative solutions, such as vaccines, therapeutic agents, diagnostic tools, and sustainable agricultural practices. This approach leverages the interactions between pathogens and their host organisms to create new technologies and interventions that can improve human health, food production, and environmental sustainability. Path biotechnology may encompass areas like pathogen-based therapies, disease prevention, and the development of bioactive compounds derived from pathogens.
