Biopharmaceutical industry
The biopharmaceutical industry develops and produces medicines derived from living organisms, such as proteins, cells, and genetic material, to treat diseases. Unlike traditional pharmaceuticals made from chemicals, biopharmaceuticals often target complex conditions like cancer, autoimmune disorders, and rare genetic diseases. This industry combines biology, medicine, and technology to create innovative therapies, often involving advanced techniques like genetic engineering and cell culture. It plays a crucial role in improving health outcomes, but development can be lengthy and costly due to rigorous testing and regulatory approval processes.
