What is the difference between pharmaceutical engineering biology and traditional Chinese medicine?

Pharmaceutical engineering biology class mainly through the study of biochemistry and other use of chemical extraction and synthesis of technical means to study drugs, Chinese medicine is mainly based on Chinese herbs, the use of traditional Chinese medicine to learn to learn the characteristics of different Chinese medicines, the two are fundamentally different.

Biotech drugs have been widely used to treat cancer, AIDS, anemia, dysplasia, diabetes, heart failure, hemophilia, cystic fibrosis and some rare genetic diseases. Many large pharmaceutical companies are faced with a large number of patents that are about to expire, while at the same time the product stockpile is very insufficient, and are therefore forced to look for new drugs from life science companies. New drug discovery technologies are making it cheaper, faster, and more accurate to find targets for specific diseases.

The main research areas of the Chinese medicine program are the mechanism of action of traditional Chinese medicine and compounding, the material basis of the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine and compounding, the research of the quality management standard of the production of local herbs (GAP), and the research of the development of new traditional Chinese medicines. This program cultivates senior scientific and technological talents with basic theories, basic knowledge, basic skills and knowledge and ability in Chinese medicine and pharmacy, who can work in the fields of Chinese medicine production, inspection, circulation, use and research and development in Chinese medicine identification, design, preparation and rational use of medicine in the clinic.
