1. Topic: Genetic Engineering
By: Ms. Uditi Handa
M.Pharmacy (Ph.D.)

4. Genetic Engineering
Deals with the
modification of genetic
material of an organism.
Principles of Biotechnology
Chemical Engineering
Revolves around the use
of chemicals for the
growth & maintenance
of cell cultures.
Vaccine Antibodies Enzymes

5. History:
The team “Genetic
Engineering” was
first coined by Jack
Williamson in his
science friction
novel.
In 1972, Paul Berg
created the first
recombinant DNA
molecules by
combining DNA from
the Monkey Virus
SV40 with that of the
lambda virus.

16. The role of enzymes in
Genetic Engineering
DNA ligase
Restriction
Endonuclease

22. The desired product is produced.

23. Complete
process

24. Applications
Agriculture
Medicine
Dairy
Products

25. Agriculture:
1. Improved nutritional
quality eg. golden rice
(Vitamin A rich).
2. Better Nitrogen fixation.
3. Reduces post harvest losses.
4. Enhanced efficacy of
minerals used by plants to
prevent early exhaustion of
fertility of soil.
5. Disease resistant plants for
eg. Tomato mosacic virus
causes great damage, Pest
resistance cabbage etc.

28. Medicine :
1. To make insulin for
use of diabetic
patients.
2. To make growth
hormones to treat
dwarfs.
3. To prepare vaccines.
4. Gene therapy by
replacing defective
genes with functional
copies.
