AbstractBiotechnology is the application of scientific and engineering principles to the production of materials by biological agents. Knowledge and publicity of this relatively new branch of science increased with the foundation of the Hong Kong Institute of Biotechnology in June 1988. According to Dr. Albert Y. Chang, director of the institute, it is essential to develop biotechnology should Hong Kong want its industries to continue to prosper.
