Biologics are the drugs generated from natural sources including human, animal, or microbial cells and consist of carbohydrates, proteins, or nucleic acids. Moreover, biologics include human cells and tissues, live attenuated microbes, allergenic extracts, cell and gene treatments. Biologics medicines are available for the treatment of disease such as chronic disease, cardiovascular disease, and so on.
Pharmaceutical companies had to outsource different stages of the biologic development and manufacturing process to highly effective service provider organizations due to the fast-paced nature of the biologic industry and the insufficient or absence of internal biologic development and manufacturing capabilities and capacities of biopharmaceutical companies. Major pharmaceutical corporations outsource the production of biologics to contract research organizations, contract manufacturing organizations, and others in order to concentrate on their core competencies while reducing operational costs.
