B Pharm Pharmaceutical Biotechnology PDF Notes
Forget boring textbooks, B-Pharmers! This B Pharm Pharmaceutical Biotechnology PDF Notes is your gateway to the exciting world of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, where biology and technology join forces to create cutting-edge medicines. Think microscopic superheroes fighting diseases, or tiny factories brewing up life-saving drugs inside living cells. We'll explore gene editing, fermentation, and other cool stuff that sounds like science fiction, but is actually changing the face of medicine. So, grab your curiosity (and maybe a t-shirt that says "Biotech Wizard"), because understanding this field is the key to unlocking the future of healthcare!
Scope
Biotechnology has a long promise to revolutionize the biological sciences and technology. Scientific application of biotechnology in the field of genetic engineering, medicine and fermentation technology makes the subject interesting. Biotechnology is leading to new biological revolutions in diagnosis, prevention and cure of diseases, new and cheaper pharmaceutical drugs. Biotechnology has already produced transgenic crops and animals and the future promises lot more. It is basically a research-based subject.
Objectives:-
Upon completion of the subject student shall be able to
Understanding the importance of Immobilized enzymes in Pharmaceutical Industries
Genetic engineering applications in relation to production of pharmaceuticals
Importance of Monoclonal antibodies in Industries
Appreciate the use of microorganisms in fermentation technology
