| Summary: | Biotechnology is a
technology-related branch of biology. It
has so many applications in the fields of
agriculture, pharmaceutical and human
medicine. Pharmaceutical
biotechnology nevertheless has its
cornerstones in fermentation and
bioprocessing, but the paradigm shift
created through biotechnology and
pharmaceutical research has resulted in
an up-to-date concept. The
biotechnological revolution has
redefined the processes of drug
research, development, manufacturing
and marketing. Insulin is one of the
finest inventions in medical science in
the field of biotechnology applications.
Human insulin was formulated in the
laboratory under in vitro conditions
using recombinant DNA technology that
is used for the treatment of a variety of
diseases and is widely used in the
clinical research industry. Human
recombinant insulin was one of the first
products of biotechnology. It has been
developed in response to the need for
consistent and sufficient global supply.
This paper will discuss the production
of human insulin formulations and the
place of recombinant DNA technology
in society. |
