Three critical research areas of biotechnology are:
Providing the best catalyst in the form of improved organism
usually a microbe or pure enzyme.
Creating optimal conditions through engineering for a catalyst to
act
Downstream processing technologies to purify the protein/organic
compound

Gene Therapy
Gene therapy is a collection of methods that allows correction of a
defective gene that has been diagnosed in a child or embryo.

The first clinical gene therapy was given in 1990 to a four year old girl
child with adenosine deaminase (ADA) deficiency.
ADA deficiency can be cured by the following methods
Bone marrow transplantation
