Biotechnology research is the most promising science for developing cures and treatments for some of the world's most intractable diseases, such as cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, HIV/AIDS, and diabetes, and for addressing some of the most pressing agricultural and environmental challenges facing our society today, including the development of renewable sources of clean energy.
