How To Develop Safe And Effective Medications | Exploring The Next Generation Of Therapeutics

What will the next generation of medicine production look like? Dr. Govind Rao joins us today to discuss the importance of constructing safe and effective medications – standards that are harder to reach than one may think…

Dr. Rao is a Professor of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, and the Director of the Center for Advanced Sensor Technology at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. His research interests are primarily focused on how to enhance the production of protein-based therapeutics from the traditional fermentation and cell culture approach – something biopharmaceuticals have been doing for over 30 years.

In this episode, we discuss:

1) Experimentation that Dr. Rao’s lab is doing.
2) New technology that is enabling scientists to create proteins.
3) The paradigm shift that may be on the horizon for therapeutic production.
4) Drugs that are most likely to improve in the near future.
