Biotechnology is a multidisciplinary scientific research field which

uses living organisms

or their parts to develop or modify products, or improve plants, animals and

microorganisms. Biotechnology and the world of colors are always

connected with

each other through biotech applications. This has encouraged the

requirement to

construct a classification system based on colors. Advance

technologies and products

are developed within the areas include medicine (development of new

medicines

and therapies), agriculture (development of genetically modified plants,

biofuels,

biological treatment) or industrial biotechnology (production of

chemicals, paper, textiles

and food), environment (maintenance of biodiversity,

bioremediation) etc. However,

Biotechnology achieved considerable progress in the branch of

healthcare sector.
 A majority of therapeutic drugs in the current market are
bioformulations, such as

antibodies, nucleic acid products and vaccines. Biotechnology helps

the pharmaceutical

industry to develop new products, new processes, methods and services

and to

improve existing ones. It also covers the impact of

biotechnology in research and invention

related to different aspects of medicine. There is a widespread list

of biopharmaceutical

products in healthcare management available for therapeutic use. In this

review

we are discussed about various classes of biotechnology-based products

such as

gene therapy, monoclonal antibody, DNA fingerprinting, vaccines,

biopharmaceuticals,

stem cell therapy, Pharmacogenomics along with their therapeutic

applications.
