Biotechnology has become an essential scientific discipline at the intersection of discovery, innovation, and application, playing a crucial role in addressing modern challenges in health, agriculture, and the environment. Reflecting this dynamic field, Emerging Dimensions in Biotechnology: Research, Innovation, and Application is a two-volume edited book series that captures the breadth and interdisciplinary nature of contemporary biotechnology. The series consists of twenty-eight peer-reviewed chapters, systematically arranged into six thematic sections: Molecular, Cellular, and Computational Biology; Infectious Diseases and Diagnostics; Cancer Biology; Agricultural and Environmental Biotechnology; Nanobiotechnology and Biosensing Applications; and Industrial and Translational Biotechnology. Contributions from researchers at the Amity Institute of Biotechnology highlight integrative research that combines foundational biological concepts with clear translational and applied outcomes, all curated by expert section editors to ensure coherence and academic rigor.
