Features: With the continuous advancement of frontier disciplines such as molecular biology and structural biology in life sciences, biotechnology has rapidly developed as a new high-tech discipline and has garnered significant attention from countries worldwide. Educational and research institutions in China have also placed great emphasis on it. Many universities have introduced "Biotechnology" as a major. Against this backdrop, there is an urgent need in China for a comprehensive textbook that provides an in-depth introduction to biotechnology, covering both fundamental theories and technical characteristics. In response to this demand, Beijing Normal University Press has published An Introduction to Biotechnology, which primarily includes five major parts: genetic engineering and protein engineering, enzymatic engineering, animal cell engineering, plant cell engineering, and fermentation engineering. The authors of this book are from the School of Life Sciences at Beijing Normal University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They are all part-time professors at the Graduate University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and are renowned experts in their respective fields. They have also delivered classroom lectures to graduate students for many years in these areas. Therefore, this book combines the authors' extensive research experience and teaching backgrounds, reflecting the latest advancements in relevant fields while maintaining the systematic and organized structure of the textbook as a whole. This book can serve as a textbook or teaching reference for undergraduate and graduate students in comprehensive universities, normal universities, medical schools, as well as related fields such as agriculture, forestry, and light industry. It is also suitable for reference use by teachers and researchers in related disciplines.
