Biotechnology will create new generations of DNA and peptide products in pharmacology. Such products may change clinical practice in the treatment of a variety of diseases, for example cancer and infectious, cardiovascular, and genetic diseases. Development of new vaccines using biotechnology may be effective in preventing or treating serious infectious diseases or cancer. We discuss approved and putative applications of biotechnological products in clinical medicine.
