15 Scientists with Big Contributions using BiotechnologyGregor Mendel — Father of Genetics, foundation of modern biotech.Louis Pasteur — Pasteurization and vaccines.Alexander Fleming — Discovered penicillin.Norman Borlaug — Green Revolution, improved crops.Kary Mullis — Invented PCR technique.James Watson & Francis Crick — DNA structure.Rosalind Franklin — X-ray diffraction of DNA.Herbert Boyer & Stanley Cohen — Recombinant DNA technology.Craig Venter — Human genome sequencing.Tu Youyou — Discovered anti-malarial drug from plants.Emmanuelle Charpentier & Jennifer Doudna — CRISPR gene-editing.Robert Koch — Bacteriology pioneer.Edward Jenner — Smallpox vaccine.César Milstein — Monoclonal antibodies.Ian Wilmut — Cloned Dolly the sheep.Traditional biotechnology - uses old methods like fermentation (e.g., making cheese, wine, bread). Modern biotechnology - uses advanced genetic engineering (e.g., cloning, GMOs, CRISPR). Modern biotech allows targeted changes, faster results, and can cure diseases or improve food production.
