→ Biology has applications in Animal husbandry, Agriculture, Aquaculture, Pollution Management, Synthetic preparation of Hormonal analogues, Manufacture of vaccines, Molecular Diagnosis of various human ailments etc.
→ Applied Biology also deals with Medical Biotechnology tools and Testing Methodologies.
→ The Green revolution, Blue revolution and White revolution etc., are applied branches of Biology.
→ Breeding Technologies to improve high milk, egg and meat yielding animals improved with the acquisition of in depth knowledge in the fields of Genetics.
→ Molecular Biology and related sciences such as Biochemistry paved the way to developing Biomedical technology ‘kits’ in the field of testing certain human body functions, in easy and quick ways.
→ Providing certain scientific inputs into rearing fish, poultry birds, honey bees silkworm moths proved very useful.
→ An insight in Cancer biology, Gene Therapy and Bio-safety issues also comes under applied biology.
→ Animal husbandry is the agricultural practice of breeding and raising livestock.
→ Padmasri Dr. B.V. Rao is the “Father of Modern Poultry in India”.
→ Bee keeping or apiculture is the maintenance of hives of honey bees for the production of honey and wax. Bee keeping is an age old cottage industry.
→ Recombinant DNA technology involves manipulation of genes or micro¬organisms to produce certain products useful to mankind.
→ J. Michael Bishop:
John Michael Bishop (born February 22, 1936) is an American immunologist and microbiologist who shared the 1989 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Harold E. Varmus and was co – winner of 1984 Alfred P. Sloan Prize. He currently serves as an active faculty member at the University of California, San Francisco.
Bishop is best known for his Nobel – winning work on retroviral oncogenes. Working with Harold E. Varmus in the 1980s, he discovered the first human oncogene, c – Src. Their findings allowed the understanding of how malignant tumors are formed from changes to the normal genes of a cell These changes can be produced by viruses, by radiation, or by exposure to some chemicals.
→ Jonas Salk
Jonas Edward Salk (October 28,1914 – June 23,1995) was an American medical researcher and virologist, best known for his discovery and development of the first successful polio vaccine. He was born in New York City to Jewish parents.
