Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Pharmaceutical biotechnology is a relatively new and growing field in which the principles of biotechnology are applied to the development of drugs. A majority of therapeutic drugs in the current market are bioformulations, such as antibodies, nucleic acid products and vaccines. Such bioformulations are developed through several stages that include: understanding the principles underlying health and disease; the fundamental molecular mechanisms governing the function of related biomolecules; synthesis and purification of the molecules; determining the product shelf life, stability, toxicity and immunogenicity; drug delivery systems; patenting; and clinical trials.

Bioactivity & Potency Testing

Knowing potency assays are critical for product development and manufacturing, are you concerned about your assays being reliable, standardized, and relevant to reflect the product’s mechanism of action. Our experts have extensive experience in establishing, validating, and conducting routine bioassays.

The human brain, is the most important part of our body and is protected by multiple layers, including the blood-brain barrier that keeps out pathogens and toxins that may be in our blood. But it can also keep potential treatments from reaching their target. In addition, the sheer complexity of the brain, with a variety of passages leading in and out, means that there is no single approach or technology that could work for every neurological disease. “We are all here because we want to work on potential treatments for people with neurological diseases,”. And we don’t want to limit ourselves by focusing on a single method – we want to identify the target and the best way to modulate it so that we can get treatments to those who need them.” But it’s also about giving people treatment options, she says. “The best way for us to do that is by investigating multiple methods of treatment that target these diseases using different techniques.
