VETERINARY BIOLOGICS AND PHARMACEUTICALS

Pengenalan

This program is dealing with R&D activities towards development and production of vaccines (virus, bacteria, parasites, etc), antigens, antitoxins and other preparations made from living organisms (or genetically engineered) and intended for use in diagnosing, treating, or immunizing animals. Other R&D activities covered under this program are also to include development of pharmaceuticals drugs for the treatment of animal disease.

All veterinary biologics (which is also known as biopharmaceuticals) and pharmaceuticals must comply with safety, purity, potency, and efficacious requirement.

The program fosters improved cross-fertilization of knowledge between industry and academia. Such coordinated efforts could lead to rapid application of promising approaches and technologies to new product development. Identification of best-practices and development of checklists for R&D plans and implementation programmes serve to shorten the timeline for product development progression from the laboratory bench to market.

In principle, this program provides the most suitable platform to researchers to accelerate development and delivery of important veterinary biologics & pharmaceuticals to the industry.
