Biotechnology and allied fields like Molecular Biology, Biochemistry and Microbiology are
promising research-oriented and fast-growing interdisciplinary fields. These subjects find
application in every sphere of life and have tremendous career opportunities available presently
and in future.
In such demand-oriented fields, lot of research works at molecular level changes, like
gene-transfer, stem-cell research, chemicals application, microbial involvement in environmental
upgradation including organic shift is being aimed at fertilizers, raw materials and
ultimately in human beings–food-related issues. Under these circumstances due to growing
concerns arising from Genetically-Modified Organisms throughout the world the UNIDO/WHO/
FAO/UNEP has built up an informal working group on Bioethics and Biosafety. In 1991, this
group preferred the “voluntary code of conduct for the release of organisms into the environment”.
Such operative Biosafety guidelines and Bioethic regulations are incorporated in this
book in accordance with the syllabus of M.Sc. (Biotechnology), B.E. (Biotechnology) and B.Tech.
(Biotechnology).
