the field or industry of biotechnology
The area of science and business that uses living things, like cells or bacteria, to make new products, especially in medicine and farming.
Vzorec užití:
work in biotech
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "biotech" with "biology". "Biology" is the general science of living things, while "biotech" is about using biology to make products or technologies, often in business. Another mistake is using it as a verb (e.g., *to biotech something*), which is not standard; it is normally a noun.
Synonyma
biotechnology (Full, more formal word; often used in scientific and academic contexts rather than casual speech.)
|
life sciences (Broader term for biological sciences; overlaps with biotech but also includes areas not focused on technology or products.)
Antonyma
low-tech industry (Highlights industries that use simple or older technology, contrasting with the advanced, research-heavy nature of biotech.)

a company in the biotech industry
A company whose main work is to use biotechnology to make new drugs, medical tools, or other products.
Vzorec užití:
invest in [biotech]
Častá chyba:
Learners may not realize that "a biotech" can refer to a company, not a person. For example, "Three biotechs presented today" usually means three companies, not three scientists. Another mistake is using a plural *bioteches* instead of the correct plural *biotechs*.
Synonyma
biotech company (An explicit version of the same idea; a little clearer in isolation than just saying "a biotech".)
|
biotech firm (Very close in meaning; slightly more formal or business-oriented than "biotech company".)
Antonyma
industrial company (A company focused on non-biological manufacturing, contrasting with firms whose core business is biotechnology.)
