2. Mechanisms for producing synthetic insulin using biotechnology, including the role of genetic engineering and its applications.

3. Recent developments in insulin production and its therapeutic uses, reviewing modern global technologies, types of insulin injections, and methods for their safe and effective administration. The workshop recommended the following:

1- Holding educational workshops and seminars to familiarize participants with the different methods and types of insulin injections used.

2- Learning about the latest methods used globally.

3- Emphasizing the importance and development of genetic engineering, as well as the role of biotechnology.
