Three critical research areas of biotechnology are:

I. Providing the best catalyst in the form of improved organism usually a microbe or pure enzyme

II. Multiple Ovulation Transfer Technology (MOET)

III. Creating optimal conditions through engineering for a catalyst to act.

IV. Downstream processing technologies
