by A combination of the fields of genetics and pharmacology, pharmacogenomics has to do with the response of the human genome to a drug. This often overlooked, but incredibly vital field is the link between effective drug manufacturing and effective drug delivery. Although drug manufacturing in a pharma company may be functioning properly, the only way for a pharma company to keep marketing its drugs effectively is to make sure that the pharmacokinetics of its drugs is also perfect and spotless. Through proficient pharmacogenomics, a pharma company can improve the potency of the drugs that it manufactures, thereby making its drugs all the more sought after. There is no point in a drug being manufactured as quickly as possible if it is not actually effective or quick enough at alleviating the symptoms of the conditions that it is meant to treat. Pharmacogenetics addresses this issue through the analysis of the response of the human genome to a particular drug and analyzing whether this response is –
- positive,
- negative, or
- entirely inconsequential.
If you wish to become a pharmacogenetist or are already one, and seek to witness success in your career by being the best that you can at pharmacogenomics and pharmacogenetics, then you might want to take part in the forthcoming lifescience conference 2024.
Promoting Natural Remedies through Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry
While most modern drug synthesis involves the use of artificially synthesized compounds that do not occur in nature and are conceived through research and development, the fields of Pharmacognosy and phytochemistry are parts of the pharmaceutical sciences that are aimed at obtaining drugs from nature.
As already mentioned in the beginning of this blog, for thousands of years’ man has been making new drugs and medicines from the use of herbs and plants.
The fields of Pharmacognosy and phytochemistry, however, aim to find unique and potent drugs that can be acquired from natural chemical compounds occurring in nature, in the form of plants and herbs.
Professionals who undertake such studies come not just from Western medicine, but also –
- Ayurveda,
- Siddha,
- Acupuncture, and
- other Chinese as well as Oriental traditions.
Acquiring such knowledge can stand a professional involved in the pharma sector in extremely good stead, by opening the door to numerous lucrative career opportunities.
Professionals possessing such knowledge and profound awareness of alternative medicine approaches and strategies are highly sought after in the pharma industry and by top pharma and drug companies, owing to the fact that Western medicine is limited, in that it is completely reliant on research and development for the synthesis of new drugs.
Alternative medicine traditions on the contrary tap into knowledge acquired over thousands of years, for the formulation of new and effective drug compounds.
Case Studies & Incessant Research – Cementing The Effectiveness of Drugs & Medication
Most people are under the impression that once a drug has been –
- undergone all toxicology tests,
- been deemed as having no untoward or adverse side effects, and
- approved by the FDA,
that it is completely and entirely safe and effective. The fact of the matter is that no drug can be deemed as being completely safe even after it has been rolled out to the masses, at least not for the first few months after its release. This is because it is impossible for anyone to foresee how the drug may react when placed in unforeseen circumstances or taken in unanticipated situations. That is why the best pharma companies continue to keep track of a new drug’s performance and behavior by acquiring and carefully analyzing case studies. Upon the analysis of these case studies, researchers then find brand new anomalies that they did not witness during the initial testing and performance assessment stages before the drug was approved and deemed fit for consumption. Taking part in the upcoming medical conference 2024 being organized by Bioleagues is the best way for anyone to acquire an insider’s perspective on how the pharma sector functions, and what the role of every professional within the setup of a pharma company is.
