Bioengineering tools for the production of pharmaceuticals: current perspective and future outlook

ABSTRACT

The bioengineering tools have significant advantages through less time-consuming and utilized as a promising stage for the production of pharmaceutical bioproducts under the single platform. This review highlighted the advantages and current improvement in the plant, animal and microbial bioengineering tools and outlines feasible approaches by biological and process’s bioengineering levels for advancing the economic feasibility of pharmaceutical’s production. The critical analysis results revealed that system biology and synthetic biology along with advanced bioengineering tools like transcriptome, proteome, metabolome and nano bioengineering tools have shown a promising impact on the development of pharmaceutical’s bioproducts. Tools to overcome and resolve the accompanying encounters of pharmaceutical’s production that include nano bioengineering tools are also discussed. As a summary and prospect, it also gives new insight into the challenges and possible breakthrough of the development of pharmaceutical’s bioproducts through bioengineering tools.
