Biotechnology in Cancer:Translational ResearchBench to bedside
The biological revolution of 20th century totally reshaped all fields of biomedical study -- cancer research being only one of them.
Biotechnology helps in elucidating the normal cellular functioningAnd the derangements thereof resulting in diseaseIncluding cancer.andThe ways to tackle these derangements
