Scientific breakthroughs over the past few decades have revolutionized vaccine development. Using recombinant DNA techniques, researchers can now design vaccines targeting specific pathogens more precisely and efficiently. Previously, vaccines were developed using weakened or inactivated whole viruses and bacteria. While effective, this traditional approach had limitations. Scientists now have...
Gene treatment is a medical technique that manipulates genes to treat and cure disease. It works by introducing genetic material into cells to compensate for abnormal genes or treat a genetic disorder. The introduced genetic material may provide a missing therapeutic gene or inhibit the activity of a mutated gene associated with disease.
Types of Gene Therapy
There are several types of gene...
Animal biotechnology is a branch of biotechnology in which molecular biology techniques are used to genetically modify animals (ie change their genomes) to improve their suitability for pharmaceutical, agricultural or industrial applications. Animal biotechnology has been used to produce genetically modified animals that synthesize therapeutic proteins with improved growth rates or disease...
The biopharmaceutical industry has seen significant growth and transformation over the past few decades. As drug development has become more complex with advancing technologies, outsourcing certain functions has become increasingly common for biopharma companies of all sizes. Contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) and contract research organizations (CROs) have played a pivotal role in...
