What is future scenario and scope of pharmacognosy?

Answer 1

This is precisely the question that was addressed at the Asilomar conference, (similar in spirit to the "TED" conference in Monterey with regard to computers and technology in general). The outcome of Asilomar was the self-regulation of this industry with a set of guidelines that were tied to rules for federal funding of research.

The scope of biotechnology is huge. The future scenarios are probably far beyond our wildest imagination. A few examples: - There are artists and architects collaborating with biochemists and geneticists to theorize about the possibility of creating living houses for humans. These houses would be made of living plants genetically engineered to be perfect habitats living symbiotically with humans, including cool or warm climate controls, Plumbing (fresh water and waste digestion), food provision, and light energy capture, storage, and production. Different textures, colors, and functions are unlimited in theory. - Researchers have recently isolated the genes related to schizophrenia and are seeking funding for research leading to the investigation of a cure or treatment. - Scientists are racing to save the honeybee from a viral plague that is eradicating it from the face of North America and threatening our supply of honey. They are looking into the DNA of the virus hoping to stop it in its tracks.
