The development of new drugs and treatments within Life Science manufacturing can be achieved thanks to scientists in academia or pharmaceutical companies. A large amount of research conducted between universities and laboratories around the world has helped optimize Life Science manufacturing, but what else can be done?
Ensuring a new drug or treatment works
Pharmaceutical companies like GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, AstraZeneca & Eli Lilly have invested a large amount of money into ensuring their research can be approved and pass-through regulations to ensure it provides the successful treatment sought to solve.
Knowing a treatment or drug works comes from the product being tested on people to see how they respond to treatment compared with other groups of patients who have not been treated. Making this process a long-term situation, one that can take years before a medicine is approved for use.
The treatment needs approval from the FDA and other international regulations if the medicine would be sold in other countries. The FDA approves medicines based on their safety and effectiveness. The agency also considers whether the benefits outweigh any risks associated with using the medication.
The case of each health problem is the only differentiator on how long results can be seen quicker or take longer to get the proper data for final results to be acquired.
What industries and products fall under the life science industry?
- Pharmaceuticals – Drugs used as preventatives, medications that treat disease, vaccines, antibiotics, etc.
- Medical Devices – Equipment such as stents, pacemakers, defibrillators, dialysis machines, artificial joints, etc.
- Biotechnology/Biopharmaceuticals- Biological therapies made from living organisms including bacteria, viruses, animals, plants, cells, DNA, RNA, proteins, antibodies, hormones, etc.
- Diagnostics- Testing is done to detect diseases or conditions. Tests may be performed on humans or animals. Examples include blood tests, X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, EKGs, Pap smears, mammograms, etc.
What are examples of life sciences companies?
- Examples of Life Sciences Companies:
- Abbott Laboratories
- Amgen Inc.
