Therapeutic Biologics

Therapeutic biologics are medical products made from living organisms, such as cells or proteins, designed to treat diseases. Unlike traditional drugs that are usually chemically synthesized, biologics include vaccines, blood components, and monoclonal antibodies. They work by targeting specific processes in the body, helping to enhance the immune response, replace missing proteins, or inhibit harmful activities, like those seen in autoimmune diseases or cancers. Due to their complexity, biologics often require advanced manufacturing and testing and are typically used for conditions that need more tailored treatment approaches.
