Biomedicine refers to the use of biology, medicine, biochemistry and other research results, comprehensive use of physics, chemistry, biotechnology and pharmacy and other disciplines and methods, the use of organisms, biological tissues, cells, body fluids and other products for prevention, treatment and diagnosis. Biological drugs, including biotech drugs and proto-biopharmaceuticals.
Sources of raw materials for biological drugs:
Natural biomaterials: human body, animals and plants, microorganisms and all kinds of marine life. With the development of biotechnology, purposeful artificial biological raw materials have become an important source of biopharmaceutical raw materials, such as microorganisms or cells prepared by genetic engineering technology.
In the past decade, advances in biotechnology have begun to change the face of biochemical drug production, producing artificial insulin instead of animal insulin. In short, the use of biotechnology to develop a variety of biological products will continue to develop, among them, the development of enzyme engineering in biotechnology will greatly promote the development of production technology in the whole pharmaceutical industry.
