The human body does a pretty good job of protecting your health. If you get a cut or bruise or skin your knee, your body will heal itself.

“We need to gain a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of diseases to target them in a safe and effective manner,” she says. “That is where the biotech industry comes into play. Biotech companies try to figure out the biological basis of how our bodies function and on what is causing the disease so we can focus on fixing that.”
