A Complete Guide to Biopharmaceutical Process Development & Manufacturing
A biopharmaceutical is a medicinal product extracted or manufactured using biological sources. Biologics are often referred to as products manufactured using recombinant DNA technology. Biosimilars, on the other hand, are drugs that have been approved. Biopharmaceutical manufacturing has changed drastically over the last few decades. Major changes have been witnessed in single-use technology whose advantages include reduced resources for cleaning and cleaning validation, better flexibility, and faster turnaround between products and batches, resulting in increased speed to market and reduced capital costs. Biopharmaceutical process development and manufacturing focuses on the development and the practices and process approaches in providing regulated and cost-effective manufacturing of biologics in a timely manner that fulfil their intended use. Good manufacturing practices ensure that manufacturers constantly produce drugs to ...
