In agriculture, it produces <strong>nutritionally enriched and climate-resilient crops</strong>, reducing reliance on chemical pesticides. In the food industry, it is used for the <strong>production and extraction of functional ingredients, alternative proteins, cultivated meat</strong>, and new preservation methods that maintain maximum nutritional value. In industrial applications, biotechnology is essential for establishing a sustainable circular economy. It enables the production of <strong>biofuels, bioplastics, and eco-friendly dyes</strong> from renewable sources. Biotechnological processes are used to convert waste into valuable <strong>biochemicals and for wastewater treatment</strong>. In medicine, biotechnology supports the development of advanced therapies, such as gene therapies, vaccines, and methods like CAR-T cell therapy for <strong>cancer treatment</strong>, laying the foundation for personalised medicine and potential <strong>organ regeneration</strong>. In the field of marine and aquatic resources, seaweed is being researched as a source for <strong>biorefineries</strong>, alongside the search for new antibiotics and industrial raw materials. Beyond these sectors, biotechnology integrates with <strong>information technologies</strong> through the application of artificial intelligence in DNA analysis, protein structure prediction, epidemic forecasting, and accelerated drug discovery.</p> <div style="clear: both;">&nbsp;</div> </div> <section class="mb-5"> <div class="row row-cols-1 row-cols-md-3 g-4"> <div class="col d-flex"> <div class="card card-pbf-custom shadow-sm flex-fill border-0"> <div class="card-body d-flex flex-column p-4"><span class="pbf-study-type text-muted">Undergraduate study</span> <div class="divider-pbf-green">&nbsp;</div> <h4 class="pbf-study-name">Biotechnology</h4> <div class="mt-auto pt-3"><a class="btn btn-custom w-100" href="/en/studies/undergraduate-studies/biotechnology">Learn more</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col d-flex"> <div class="card card-pbf-custom shadow-sm flex-fill border-0"> <div class="card-body d-flex flex-column p-4"><span class="pbf-study-type text-muted">Graduate study</span> <div class="divider-pbf-green">&nbsp;</div> <h4 class="pbf-study-name">Bioprocess&nbsp; engineering</h4> <div class="mt-auto pt-3"><a class="btn btn-custom w-100" href="/en/studies/graduate-studies/bioprocess-engineering">Learn more</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col d-flex"> <div class="card card-pbf-custom shadow-sm flex-fill border-0"> <div class="card-body d-flex flex-column p-4"><span class="pbf-study-type text-muted">Graduate study</span> <div class="divider-pbf-green">&nbsp;</div> <h4 class="pbf-study-name">Molecular&nbsp; biotechnology</h4> <div class="mt-auto pt-3"><a class="btn btn-custom w-100" href="/en/studies/graduate-studies/molecular-biotechnology">Learn more</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <style type="text/css">:root { --pbf-blue: #25439f; --pbf-green-official: #60BFA0; --pbf-soft-gray: #f4f5f7; } .card-pbf-custom { background-color: var(--pbf-soft-gray) !important; border: 1px solid #eeeeee !important; border-radius: 8px !important; transition: all 0.3s ease-in-out !important; } .card-pbf-custom:hover { transform: translateY(-5px) !important; box-shadow: 0 8px 15px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.08) !important; } .pbf-study-name { color: var(--pbf-blue) !important; font-size: 1.55rem !important; font-weight: 800 !important; margin-top: 5px; line-height: 1.2; } .pbf-study-type { font-size: 1rem; font-weight: 500; } .divider-pbf-green { width: 50px; height: 3px; background-color: var(--pbf-green-official); margin: 8px 0; } .btn-custom { background-color: var(--pbf-blue) !important; color: white !important; border: none !important; padding: 12px 15px !important; border-radius: 50rem !important; font-weight: 600 !important; text-decoration: none !important; transition: all 0.3s ease; text-align: center; display: block; } .btn-custom:hover { background-color: var(--pbf-green-official) !important; color: white !important; } .pbf-intro-section strong { color: var(--pbf-blue); } </style> </td></tr> </table> https://www.pbf.hr/en/faculty/what-makes-us-special/biotechnology#content___4925 https://www.pbf.hr/en/faculty/what-makes-us-special/biotechnology#content___4925 Obrisani Korisnik
