Four categories
What Are The 4 Types Of Biotechnology? The four main types of biotechnology are medical biotechnology (red), industrial biotechnology (white), environmental biotechnology (green), and marine biotechnology (blue).
Education
After graduating from high school, an aspiring biotechnologist typically needs to earn a bachelor's degree. While it is possible to pursue this career with an undergraduate degree in one of the life sciences or a related area of engineering, the most linear pathway is to major in biotechnology itself.
Technology
Biotechnology is technology that utilizes biological systems, living organisms or parts of this to develop or create different products. Brewing and baking bread are examples of processes that fall within the concept of biotechnology (use of yeast (= living organism) to produce the desired product).
