• Genetic Engineering Sector in Egypt
The field of genetic engineering is one of the biological technologies based on genetics. It is the practical application of this science, which meaning that it is the technology of genetics. And genetic engineering is one of the revolutionary techniques in its various ways as it specializes in modifying the DNA of all living organisms according to human requirements to meet their different needs in different fields such as agriculture, industry, medicine, and the environment. Genetic engineering research has spread, for example, the famous cloned "Dolly" sheep, as well as human insulin produced by bacteria. All of these applications demonstrated to everyone the ability that genetic engineering techniques possess in modifying and engineering living organisms, which led to many other applications, especially in the agricultural field, such as genetic manipulation, whether to add traits or delete other unwanted ones. Despite the positives about genetic modification techniques, fierce objections are targeting it from some non-profit organizations in different countries. As they are saying that, genetic engineering has catastrophic side effects, in addition to the organizations working to promote their ideas and organize demonstrations opposing this technology.
Researchers in all their research has not yet discovered the truth of any of these allegations made by opponents of genetic engineering, and all evidence requires that genetic engineering undoubtedly hides a benefit to humanity if it is harnessed for the public good. Genetic engineering has saved many societies from diseases and famines.
Finally, the field of genetic engineering is revolutionary. And to work on it, it is worth all time to try. Be qualified for it is no less important than anything from the first education and reading to research and building scientific proposals in it, it is possible that when making one of these proposals, you win a grant Scientific research funding your business.
