This course covers both biotechnology and natural products and their applications in biopharmaceutical discovery, precision medicine, and lead compound development. Topics include the basic principles of biotechnology and the history of modern pharmaceuticals, encompassing ethnopharmacology and ethnomedicinal procedures. Strategies for creating and improving biopharmaceuticals by combinatorial chemistry and rational drug design are presented. Modern techniques for recombinant protein expression, purification, and large-scale biopharmaceutical process development are addressed, including transgenic organisms, genome modification and molecular biological approaches to novel biopharmaceutical drug design. Seneca College course code: #BPH-633.
