Welcome to
Pharmaceutical Biotechnology
Biotechnology is one of the leading forefronts of technologies of the future. The interdependence of human health and new products together with the advent of molecular biology manipulations along with the information management system technologies at various levels of gene, transcript, and protein has generated a new research and industrial field for pharmaceutical sciences. Thus, new technologies and existing pharmaceutical requirements have come hand-in-hand to lead to new generations of biopharmaceuticals with improved activities and selective modes of action to combat diseases such as cancer, and other debilitating illnesses.
Biotechnology is the use of living systems and organisms to develop or make products, or any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use. Before the development of biotechnology as an independent program, the multidisciplinary task of producing a recombinant therapeutic agent, its analysis and other related fields co-existed in various institutions. However, as the applications of this area became evident and entered into educational courses and systematic education, it became independently recognized as a program namely, Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, which could be differentiated from other fields of biotechnology such as medical, agricultural, industrial, etc. In this field, it is highly desired to, not only, design, produce and control drugs by the help of microorganisms or other biological entities, but also, to influence the healthcare system through various targeted and smart pharmaceuticals.
