DEFINITION
MEDICAL: an examination of a person's body by a doctor in order to
discover if that person is healthy, sometimes done before a person can be
accepted for a particular job

Medical biotechnology: is a branch of medicine that uses living cells and

cell materials to research and then produce pharmaceutical and diagnosing
products. These products help treat and prevent diseases.
Genetic engineering :
Is a process that uses laboratory-based
technologies to alter the DNA makeup
of an organism. This may involve
changing a single base pair (A-T or
C-G), deleting a region of DNA or
adding a new segment of DNA.
Vaccines:
a substance used to stimulate the
production of antibodies and provide
immunity against one or several
diseases, prepared from the causative
agent of a disease, its products, or a
synthetic substitute, treated to act as
an antigen without inducing the
disease.
Tissue engineering:
Tissue engineering is a biomedical engineering
discipline that uses a combination of cells,
engineering, materials methods, and suitable
biochemical and physicochemical factors to restore,
maintain, improve, or replace different types of
biological tissues. Tissue engineering often involves
the use of cells placed on tissue scaffolds in the
formation of new viable tissue for a medical purpose
but is not limited to applications involving cells and
tissue scaffolds. While it was once categorized as a
sub-field of biomaterials, having grown in scope and
importance it can be considered as a field of its own.
DRUGS
Is any chemical substance that causes a
change in an organism's physiology or
psychology when consumed. Drugs are
typically distinguished from food and
substances that provide nutritional support.
Consumption of drugs can be via inhalation,
injection, smoking, ingestion, absorption via
a patch on the skin, suppository, or
dissolution under the tongue.
