    The pharmaceutical industry plays a pivotal role in the health care system. Without the pharmaceutical industry, health care would not evolve into what it is today. The reason why it plays such an important role in health care is because it helps address challenges associated with modern day diseases and illnesses. It controls prevent, treat, and cure many types of diseases. In support, according to Williams and Torren, “ Biotechnology offers new approaches to discovery, design, and production of drugs and vaccines, and diagnostics.”…

    The first two alternatives were somewhat consistent with Abgenix’ past business model that yielded revenues in two ways: 1) by issuing exclusive licenses to use XenoMouse for drug development targeting specific diseases to leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and 2) by undertaking the early stages of XenoMouse based drug development and subsequently selling off the rights to further develop and bring the drugs onto the market. In contrast, the “go-it-alone” method would require an expansion of Abgenix’ resource base and capabilities: a more risky approach with the potential of a relatively high value generation.…

    Should Genes Be Patented?

    I find it difficult to argue for the patent eligibility of Myriad Genetics’ methods for the isolation of the genes. “Myriad did not create anything,” Justice Clarence Thomas writes for the court, and cannot possibly satisfy the patent requirements to be recognized as an invention that deserves legal protection. The company undoubtedly identified “an important and useful gene, but separating that gene from its surrounding genetic material is not an act of invention.” An appropriate analogy…

    Scientists are hoping that within the next decade they can begin to correlate DNA variants with individual responses to treatments, identify particular subgroups of patients, and develop drugs customized for those populations. The discipline that blends pharmacology with genomic capabilities is called pharmacogenomics. (http://www.ornl.gov/sci/techresource/HumanGenome/publicat/primer2001/6.shtml)…

    Pharmacogenomics (a combination of pharmacology and genomics) is the technology that analyses how genetic makeup affects an individual's response to drugs. It deals with the influence of genetic variation on drug response in patients by correlating gene expression or single-nucleotide polymorphisms with a drug's efficacy or toxicity. By doing so, pharmacogenomics aims to develop rational means to optimize drug therapy, with respect to the patients' genotype, to ensure maximum efficacy with minimal adverse effects. Such approaches promise the advent of "personalized medicine"; in which drugs and drug combinations are optimized for each individual's unique genetic makeup. Biotechnology has contributed to the discovery and manufacturing of traditional small molecule pharmaceutical drugs as well as drugs that are the product of biotechnology - bio pharmaceutics. Modern biotechnology can be used to manufacture existing medicines relatively easily and cheaply. The first genetically engineered products were medicines designed to treat human diseases. To cite one example, in 1978 Genentech developed synthetic humanized insulin by joining its gene with a plasmid vector inserted into the bacterium Escherichia coli. Insulin, widely used for the treatment of diabetes, was previously extracted from the pancreas of abattoir animals (cattle and/or pigs). The resulting genetically engineered bacterium enabled the production of vast quantities of synthetic human insulin at relatively low cost. Biotechnology has also enabled emerging therapeutics like gene therapy. The application of biotechnology to basic science (for example through the Human Genome Project) has also dramatically improved our understanding of biology and as our scientific…

    The term ‘Biosimilar’ refer to those pharmaceutical products which are biologically similar versions of already existing popular drugs, the difference being that biosimilars are produced by a different manufacturer after the expiry of the original drug’s patent and they are more cost-effective than the original drug. The global biosimilar market has grown exponentially over the years due to several factors which include rising medical care costs, ageing world population and expensiveness of critical drugs.…

    A patient is being treated for breast cancer. The medicine usually involved to treat this disease is Chemo Therapy and radiation. It works for some, some it does not. So what other alternative is there for patients with this illness? Currently in the works is the idea to study an individual patient’s genotype to get a better understanding of what medication, therapy, treatment, will actually be beneficial to this patient with this disease like so many others. This idea is called Personalized Medicine.…
