Nowadays, biological drugs (biopharmaceuticals) are widely used in the treatment of serious
diseases. Their high demand has consistently placed them at the top of pharmaceutical sales
for many years. To meet this demand, advancements, in science and technology are. This
book provides a comprehensive overview of pharmaceutical biotechnology, catering to both
for students and instructors seeking to deepen their knowledge in this field.

Long before the introduction of the first recombinant DNA product, insulin, humans utilised
other organisms for various purposes, including preservation, food production and
medication. The advent of fermentation using microorganisms marked a significant
production of biological products. Today, the use of biological material is favoured for their
safety and efficacy in therapy. Recombinant DNA technology has becomes a pivotal strategy
in producing biopharmaceutical products such as insulin, monoclonal antibodies and
interferons. This book delves into the fundamental principles of biotechnology applied in
pharmaceutical productions and therapy. It explores the transformation proteins and genes
into drugs (biopharmaceuticals) through recombinant DNA technology. Additionally, it
covers the production, analytical and delivery aspects of biopharmaceuticals, as well as their
therapeutic and clinical application. This book is a valuable resources for undergraduate
students in pharmacy , biomedical and health sciences.
