 | | |  Development of Biomarkers and Biotherapeutics is Heavily Reliant on Analytical Science
The 1980s saw the introduction of the first biotherapeutic – recombinant human insulin for the treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM). This drug replaced bovine and porcine as sources for this hormone as it had a higher purity, specificity, and efficacy. It was also a more cost-effective source of treatment.
Since then, biotherapeutics have demonstrated high specificity and effectiveness compared to their small, chemical counterparts of the pharmaceutical industry, resulting in a dramatic increase in total annual revenue from $4.4 billion in 1990 to more than $275 billion today.

Harold and Leila Y. Mathers Foundation for research into childhood celiac disease. | | | | |  Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine, in collaboration with Dutch scientists, have found that certain metabolites -- small molecules produced by the process of metabolism -- may be predictive indicators for persons at risk for recurrent major depressive disorder. | |
