Pharmaceutical Biotechnology (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789395039215)

Pharmaceutical Biotechnology is a discipline of pharmaceutical science concerned with the manufacture and storage of biological products. It primarily consists of scientific applications in the fields of genetic engineering, medicine, and fermentation technology, all of which have resulted in new biological revolutions in disease diagnosis, prevention, and cure, as well as new and less expensive drugs, vaccines, and antibiotic production. It's a broad field that encompasses both basic and applied research, as well as DNA science, which covers important topics in DNA research and applications currently. Introduction to Pharmaceutical Biotechnology covers DNA isolation techniques, as well as molecular markers and genomic library screening techniques. Gene isolation, sequencing, and synthesis.

The book starts with an introduction to biotechnology and its different branches, describing the fundamental science as well as the applications of biotechnology-derived pharmaceuticals, with a focus on clinical applications. It then moves on to a discussion of biotechnology's history and scope, including an outline of early uses developed by scientists long before the term was coined. It's a one-stop superstore for undergraduate and graduate pharmacists, pharmaceutical science students, and those without formal knowledge in the field.
