Biopharming / What is biopharming?
Biopharming, also known as plant molecular farming, refers to the use of genetically modified plants to produce a wide range of pharmaceuticals, including therapeutic proteins, monoclonal antibodies and vaccines to treat cancer, inflammatory diseases and other life-threatening or debilitating conditions.
These products are termed plant-made pharmaceuticals. They belong to a class of pharmaceuticals known more generally as “biologics” or “biopharmaceuticals,” as they are derived from living organisms.
