Recombinant DNA (rDNA) refers to artificial DNA molecules that are created by combining genetic material from different sources. This technology involves the insertion of DNA fragments from one ...

Recombinant antibodies (rAbs), also called genetically engineered antibodies, are produced by cloning the antibody which is made of light and heavy chain DNA sequences. In comparison to monoclonal ...

Recombinant antibody technology has been leveraged to mitigate a range of common problems associated with hybridoma platforms, helping to facilitate the development of an entirely new class of ...

In September 1970, Janet Mertz joined the biochemistry department at Stanford University. She was one of only six new graduate students in the department and the first female one admitted in nine ...

Antibodies are the number one immune cells that fight against infection and diseases. However, beyond their natural usage, biochemistry has devised several ways in which these antibodies can be ...

Biotechnology is a multidisciplinary field that combines biology, chemistry, engineering, and technology to develop products and processes using living organisms, cells, or their components. It ...

Recombinant DNA technologies developed in the early 1970s enabled scientists to isolate genes of interest and splice them into existing DNA structures. However, as late as the early 1980s, the ...

Genetic technologies have the potential to help solve the ever-growing challenges of food insecurity and global health. But for this potential to be met, regulations that hinder scientific innovation ...

“BIOHAZARDS AT HARVARD,” warns the cover of the June 8, 1976 issue of the Boston Phoenix. “Scientists are on the brink of undertaking revolutionary genetic research which creates new life forms,” the ...

His research into recombinant DNA provided a foundation for the biotech revolution, leading to a long list of lifesaving treatments. By Clay Risen Arthur D. Riggs, a biochemist whose pioneering ...
