Biologic Drug Development

Meaning

Biologic drug development is the complex, multi-stage process of discovering, manufacturing, and bringing to market therapeutic agents derived from living organisms or their components. These sophisticated pharmaceuticals, often including recombinant hormones, monoclonal antibodies, or cellular therapies, target specific molecular pathways with high precision. In the hormonal health space, this often involves engineering molecules that mimic or modulate endogenous endocrine signals, such as various growth factors or reproductive hormones. This area of pharmacology is distinct from traditional small-molecule drug development due to the size and structural complexity of the molecules.
