Biotechnology, the drug manufacturing strategy that has transformed the healthcare industry over the past 30 years, continues to produce novel, life-saving products. Monoclonal antibodies, biologic response modifiers, and cellular therapies have improved patient outcomes in many debilitating disease-states including hepatitis, cancer, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. These innovative biologic medications are allowing patients to live longer, healthier lives, and pharmaceutical companies have shifted their focus to the production of these agents to meet the demands of a changing therapeutic landscape.
