Global health is greatly impacted by urbanization, changes in lifestyle, climate change, and resource depletion. These problems may be solved and sustainable growth encouraged by modern technology. Biotechnological developments in food, medicine, and water are reviewed in this study, since they are important to public health. Encouraging new biotech businesses and technology transfer can improve the sustainability of healthcare, which may lead to better health outcomes and a decline in global health disparities. But this takes time, consistent work, and creative solutions. Genomics, proteomics, DNA-based vaccinations, and recombinant vaccines are among the medicinal items that biotechnology, an expanding area, focuses on generating. Offering substitutes for conventional treatments, it has resulted in notable progress in the fields of medicine and health sciences. In order to improve illness detection and treatment, biotechnological medications, including gene therapy, replace damaged cells with cells that are healthy. Proteomics helps with early diagnosis, CRISPR-Cas allows for genome editing, which is altering healthcare, and microarrays determine gene expression in disorders. The health industry is improved by these breakthroughs since they allow for the early detection of genetic abnormalities and support tailored healthcare. The foundations of biotechnology, its influence on vaccine creation, and medical biotechnology which combines genetics, molecular biology, and other biological sciences to advance the medical and health sciences are covered in this overview. Nano-sensors provide simplicity, versatility, and cost-effectiveness in advanced sensing technology, which is essential for infection detection and post-treatment response monitoring. An overview of current developments in nano-science and nanotechnology techniques as well as biosensors is given in this article.
