Biotechnology had a significant impact on many areas of society, from medicine to agriculture to environmental science. One of the key techniques used in biotechnology is genetic engineering, which allows scientists to modify the genetic makeup of organisms to achieve desired outcomes.

Double Degree
Joint degrees are academic qualifications awarded through integrated curricula often jointly coordinated and delivered by multiple higher education institutions, sometimes across different countries. Graduates may receive a single qualification recognized by multiple national systems, separate qualifications (also known as a dual degree or double degree), or a single joint degree certificate. These degrees differ from standard national qualifications by being either multi-system or independent of any single national education system. Dual-degree programs are usually designed to offer students an opportunity to gain diverse academic experiences and qualifications in a reduced time frame compared to pursuing the degrees separately. Dual degrees can be offered at the undergraduate or postgraduate level across various disciplines, such as business, law, engineering, and the arts. The structure of dual degree programs varies significantly, with some requiring a unified curriculum and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The dendritic cells are the orchestrators of the immune system. 'Priming' dendritic cells involves exposing those cells to disease antigens in order to get the immune system to properly recognise the antigen and mount an appropriate response. With CVac this takes place outside the body of the patient (''ex vivo''), with dendritic ce ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
