Not ready for prime time The Industrial Development Bureau (IDB) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs defines biotechnology products as "any product developed and manufactured using knowledge and technologies (e.g. genetic engineering, protein engineering, cell engineering, and tissue engineering) that fall within the scope of the life sciences (e.g. molecular biology, cell biology, immunology, genetics, and proteomics)."
生物技術簡稱生技，經濟部工業局將其定義為：凡是「運用生命科學（如：分子生物學、細胞生物學、免疫學、基因體學及蛋白質體學等）的知識及技術（如：基因工程、蛋白質工程、細胞工程、組織工程）等為基礎，進行研發、製造的產品」，都是生技產品。
