Produktbeschreibung

Pharmaceutical biotechnology is a broad and growing field that can be defined as the science that covers all technologies required for the production, manufacturing, and registration of biological drugs. Most therapeutic drugs in the current market are bioformulations, such as antibodies, nucleic acid products and vaccines. Such bioformulations are developed through several stages that include understanding the principles underlying health and disease; the fundamental molecular mechanisms governing the function of related biomolecules; synthesis and purification of the molecules; determining the product shelf life, stability, toxicity and immunogenicity, drug delivery systems, patenting; and clinical trials. The future of pharmaceuticals belongs to protein-based therapeutics and soon to be mRNA vaccines. Designing stable and effective therapeutic proteins requires knowledge of protein structure and the interactions that stabilise the structure necessary for function.

The recent advancements in biotechnology, particularly in post-COVID era is accelerating the pace of research and development in all areas of biological sciences. Thus, the aim and scope of this book is to clearly illustrate ideas on diverse ongoing cutting-edge advancements in the field biotechnology and current scenario across a wide subject spectrum. The chapters are presented in a manner to update and provide comprehensive knowledge to the teachers, UG/PG students and research scholars and shall serve some interest for the public. This textbook is comprehensive in scope and concise in approach and ensures vital information pertaining to the advancements in biotechnology.
