ADVANCEMENTS IN BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR EARLY DISEASE DETECTION: INTEGRATING BIOSENSORS AND GENOMIC TECHNOLOGIES TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES
Keywords:
Biotechnology, Disease Detection, Biosensors, Genomics, CRISPR-based Diagnostics, Biomedicine, HealthcareAbstract
Early disease detection plays a crucial role in improving patient outcomes by enabling timely interventions, reducing healthcare costs, and increasing survival rates. Biotechnology has made significant strides in enhancing early detection through the integration of biosensors and genomic technologies. This review explores advancements in these two fields, focusing on how biosensors allow for real-time, non-invasive monitoring of biomarkers, and how genomic technologies, such as next-generation sequencing and CRISPR-based diagnostics, are transforming disease detection at the molecular level. These advancements promise to revolutionize healthcare, providing more accurate, faster, and cost-effective tools for diagnosing diseases such as cancer, infectious diseases, and genetic disorders.
