- An essential resource
- for general reference and competitive and technological intelligence; essential for biosimilars, biobetters and biogenerics developers
The reviews agree!
- "The most useful and cost-effective resource with the information you need to understand biopharmaceutical products and the industry."
- Emphasis on biotechnology and commercial aspects - composition, activity, nomenclature, companies involved and relationships,
manufacturing processes, patents/technology transfer, regulatory history/status, approved indications, prices, market size/share, controversial aspects, etc. [information that is
now very hard or even impossible to find]
