Biotechnological and Computational Approaches for the Development of Biosensors

For ages, humans have developed technologies to exploit living organisms and their metabolism to produce food (e.g., bread, cheese and wine). Modern biotechnology implies the industrial use of scientific knowledge of cellular and molecular processes to make or modify products, to improve plants and animals, or to develop microorganism for specific uses.
