Pharmaceuticals and Biochemicals Biomedicine involves integrating the findings of biology, medicine, and biochemistry with the comprehensive application of disciplines like physics, chemistry, biotechnology, and pharmacy. This approach utilizes various methods and resources, including organisms, biological tissues, cells, and bodily fluids, to address prevention, treatment, and diagnostic needs. Within biomedicine, biological drugs encompass both biotech drugs and proto-biopharmaceuticals.
The foundation of biological drug production lies in raw materials. These materials can be derived from natural sources, such as human beings, animals, plants, microorganisms, and marine life. Moreover, the progress of biotechnology has led to the emergence of purposefully engineered biological raw materials, such as microorganisms or cells created through genetic engineering techniques.
In recent years, the landscape of biochemical drug production has transformed due to biotechnological advancements. Artificial insulin production has replaced animal insulin, exemplifying the potential of biotechnology in shaping the field. Notably, the evolution of biotechnology-driven enzyme engineering is poised to significantly propel technological advancements across the pharmaceutical industry. As such, the development of diverse biological products through biotechnological means is an ongoing trajectory, set to revolutionize pharmaceutical innovation.
