What are Pharmaceutical Drugs in the Context of Biotechnology?
Pharmaceutical drugs are chemical substances used to treat, cure, prevent, or diagnose diseases. In the context of biotechnology, pharmaceutical drugs often involve the use of biological systems or organisms in their development and production. This can include drugs derived from recombinant DNA technology, monoclonal antibodies, and gene therapy products. Biotechnology has revolutionized the pharmaceutical industry by enabling the production of drugs that are more effective and targeted.
