Biopharmaceutical is an umbrella term for medical drugs that are created with biotechnology. Beer, wine, wash detergent, and everything plastic is all considered biotechnology product. Humans have used biotech for millennia to breed animals and improve crops. Biopharmaceuticals are manufactured in or extracted or semi-synthesized from biological sources, such as cells and living organisms. Traditional pharmaceuticals, on the other hand, are created instead through chemical synthesis. The biopharmaceutical industry also works on problems in bio-defense, and has benefited from new breakthroughs in DNA research. Biopharmaceuticals treat a wide-ranging list of ailments and include vaccines, blood components, allergenics, somatic cells, gene therapy, tissues, recombinant therapeutic proteins, and living cells.
