ʻO ka ʻenekinia genetic ke kumu o ka bioengineering hou. ʻO ka ʻenekinia genetic (a i ʻole genetic engineering, gene recombination technology) ka mea e ʻoki a hoʻohui i nā genes o nā mea ola like ʻole i loko o ka vitro, e hoʻopili iā lākou me ka DNA o nā vectors (plasmids, phages, viruses), a laila e hoʻololi iā lākou i loko o nā microorganisms a i ʻole nā ​​​​pūnaewele no ka cloning. i hiki ke hōʻike ʻia nā genes i hoʻoili ʻia i loko o nā cell a i ʻole microorganism e hana i nā protein i makemake ʻia. ʻOi aku ma mua o 60% o nā hoʻokō biotechnology i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka ʻoihana lāʻau lapaʻau e hoʻomohala i nā ʻano lāʻau hou a hoʻomaikaʻi paha i ka lāʻau lapaʻau kuʻuna, i alakaʻi i nā loli nui i ka ʻoihana lāʻau lapaʻau a me ka hoʻomohala wikiwiki ʻana o nā biopharmaceuticals. ʻO ka Biopharmaceutical ke kaʻina hana o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻenehana bioengineering i ke kahua o ka hana lāʻau lapaʻau, ʻo ka mea nui loa ʻo ia ka genetic engineering. ʻO ia ka ʻoki, hoʻokomo, hoʻohui a hoʻohui hou i ka DNA ma o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻenehana cloning a me ka ʻenehana moʻomeheu kiko, i loaʻa ai nā huahana biomedical. ʻO nā lāʻau lapaʻau biologically he hoʻomākaukau hoʻolaʻa biologically i hoʻomākaukau ʻia me nā microorganisms, parasites, nā meaʻawaʻawa holoholona a me nā ʻiʻo biological e like me nā mea hoʻomaka, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā kaʻina biological a i ʻole ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana a me nā ʻenehana hoʻomaʻemaʻe, a me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻenehana biological a me analytical e hoʻomalu i ka maikaʻi o nā huahana waena a me nā huahana i hoʻopau ʻia, me nā lāʻau lapaʻau. toxins, toxoids, serum, koko huahana, immune hoomakaukau, cytokines, antigens Monoclonal antibodies a me genetic engineering huahana (DNA recombination huahana, in vitro diagnostic reagents), a pela aku. i ʻekolu mau ʻāpana e like me kā lākou hoʻohana like ʻole: nā lāʻau ʻenekinia genetic, nā lāʻau lapaʻau ola a me nā reagents diagnostic diagnostic. Ke pāʻani nei kēia mau huahana i kahi hana koʻikoʻi i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana, ka pale ʻana, ka mālama ʻana a me ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā maʻi maʻi a me ka pale ʻana i ke olakino kanaka.
