Biologics - or biopharmaceuticals as they are also known - are medicinal products made from living cells such as proteins and hormones. Unlike the oral pills which are often made from synthetic chemicals, biologics are medicinal products isolated from a variety of natural sources - human, animal or microorganism - by biotechnology methods. Biologics have been used to treat cancers, arthritis and other serious diseases. Some well-known examples are insulin and vaccines which are injected into the body.
Many of the new medicines worldwide are now created from living cells. Across the world, there is also a growing trend of pharmaceutical companies focusing on biopharmaceuticals.
The Diploma in Biologics & Process Technology is first and the only course in Singapore that combines biological and chemical sciences with engineering concepts, and with a strong emphasis on biopharmaceutical technologies.
