Abstract

Advances in environmental and biomedical research through biotechnology have enhanced our knowledge and ability to effectively manage many issues affecting human health and the natural environment. Biotechnology has led to advancements in gene editing, regenerative medicine, and many other fields that contribute to human wellbeing. Biotechnology is also providing valuable tools for the management of environmental pollution. Among other developments, biotechnology has led to breakthroughs in bioremediation, where engineered microorganisms are used to detoxify polluted environments, and in sustainable agriculture, where genetically modified crops are designed to withstand harsh conditions and reduce the need for chemical inputs. These advancements highlight the transformative potential of biotechnology in fostering a healthier population and a more sustainable planet. This Special Issue of Sultan Qaboos University Journal for Science entitled “Advances in Environmental and Biomedical Research via Biotechnology” comprises selected peer-reviewed papers presented at the “The Second Biotechnology Meeting - Biomedical Research and Medical Biotechnology”, organized by the Biology Department, College of Science, Sultan Qaboos University. The articles provide insights into new and emerging technologies in environmental biology and microbiology, covering areas such as environmental biology and microbiology, medical sciences, biotechnology, and plant taxonomy. The Guest Editors acknowledge all authors for their contribution and thank the reviewers for their assistance in bringing out this Special Issue. We are grateful to the Editor-in-Chief, the Editor and the Editorial Board members of SQUJS and the Academic Publication Board of SQU for accepting our proposal. Special thanks to the Editorial Office, especially Mrs. Laila Al-Anbouri, for their support in bringing out this Special Issue in a timely fashion.
