Red Biotechnology
Red biotechnology(Bio-pharmaceutical) is a process that utilizes organisms
to improve health care and help the body to fight diseases. It is a branch of
modern biotechnology which is utilized in the field of medicine. Red
biotechnology is not only limited to the pharmaceutical industry but also to
the medical sector as it facilitates the alleviation of human suffering and
enhances the quality of life.
It has become tremendous use in clinical research and trials, gene therapy
and in diagnostic of the gene. Genetic engineering, production, and
development of various medicines to treat different life-threatening
diseases, which is a part of the benefits of red biotechnology.
Other areas where red biotechnology is useful are in the fields of cancer
research, veterinary, production of biochips and so on. Red biotechnology
brings all the biotechnology uses to medicine.
Regenerative therapies
Development of genetic engineering
Some examples of red biotechnology are regenerative medicine, gene therapy, cell
therapy and medicines based on biological molecules such as therapeutic antibodies.
Red biotechnology applications is a long and expensive process which occurs in order to
introduce a new drug into the market.
Red biotechnology has been making waves in the pharmaceutical industry. When
you hear the term red biotechnology applications, you may not know what it is
referring to, but in the medical industry, it refers to medical drugs that are
produced by applying methods of biotechnology.
Some of the biopharmaceuticals are produced through the use of biotechnology
include nucleic acids, proteins, antibodies, DNA and RNA. These are all used for in-
vivo therapeutic or diagnostic purposes. They are different than other
pharmaceuticals because they are developed using methods of biotechnology
rather than direct extraction
The first biopharmaceutical that was approved for use is actually insulin. Insulin
was created using recombinant technology with DNA. Since the inception of
insulin being released and used in the medical community, there have been
continuous strides in the field of biopharmaceuticals. Most of these are derived
from forms of living organisms.
Once a biopharmaceutical is created and approved for use, it typically goes
through the process of being patented to give it exclusive rights for manufacturing
and production. Because of the high cost usually associated with using
biotechnology methods in creating biopharmaceuticals, it is important to the
creator of the new drug to be able to maintain rights to it to help absorb a portion
of the cost it took in the stages of development.
Future of Red-Biotechnology
Every day Science moves little steps forward, contributing to the progress of the society.
However, a single invention revolutionizes the world.
