Scientific, leadership and innovation skills are also an integral framework of the curriculum. All of them together or individually are important for enhancement of knowledge, critical thinking, and creativity. Integration of knowledge and skills from biotechnology, biophysics and business can enhance scientific thinking and enhance the ability to innovate in students. Biotechnology is an amalgamation of natural and engineering sciences which primarily uses advances of molecular biology for application to improve human health, agriculture, medicine, environment and nature. Biophysics is the interdisciplinary science to study complexity in structure of molecules and proteins. Bio-business is the transdisciplinary field in which approaches and strategies of business are applied to a biological phenomenon, natural and synthetic product. This lesson highlights the interdisciplinary nature of biotechnology and biophysics and provides an introduction to key concepts.
