Book Description
Pharmaceutical Biotechnology: A Focus on Industrial Application covers the development of new biopharmaceuticals as well as the improvement of those being produced. The main purpose is to provide background and concepts related to Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, together with an industrial perspective. This is a comprehensive text for undergraduates, graduates and academics in biochemistry, pharmacology and biopharmaceutics, as well as professionals working on the interdisciplinary field of pharmaceutical biotechnology. Written with teaching in mind, this book allows teachers to have an easier time preparing their classes and providing students with a fluid and easy to read text. The reader is given easy to follow step-by-step stages of the development of new biopharmaceuticals, as well as allowing the optimization of existing production processes.
