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.

Many branches of medicine in which this technology assumes to have great


importance are the production of combination vaccines like Hepatitis B,
Hepatitis A, DPT, and polio vaccine that is meant to be injected. This
technology is beneficial in the field of poultry farming as well as in tissue
engineering.

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.

Red biotechnology Includes


Producing vaccines and antibiotics

Developing new drugs


Molecular diagnostics techniques

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.

3D-printing is now boosting another revolution-3D-printing in biomedicine. 3D-


bioprinting represents the future of the Red-Biotech. This technology will be able to
build organs using biocompatible materials and human cells. This will replace the
allograft transplants, eliminating waiting lists that often make the difference between life
and death. This will also replace animal tests and provide more predictive, less expensive
experimental models. The high innovation content of this technology can make the
difference between being out of date and new.
