Biopharmaceutics is the study of how pharmaceutical properties affect biologic properties and therapeutic usefulness. Biotechnology describes the industry of creating, developing, and marketing products through the manipulation, on a molecular level, of life forms or utilization of knowledge pertaining to living systems.
