Biopharmaceuticals, also known as biologics or biotechnological pharmaceuticals, are a class of medicinal products derived from living organisms or produced using biotechnology techniques. Unlike traditional small-molecule drugs, which are chemically synthesized, biopharmaceuticals are large, complex molecules, typically proteins or nucleic acids, that play critical roles in various biological processes. They have revolutionized the treatment of many diseases and conditions, offering novel therapeutic options with high specificity and efficacy.

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are two fundamental concepts in pharmacology that describe the actions of drugs within the body. They play a crucial role in understanding how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated, as well as how they interact with their target receptors to produce therapeutic effects.

• Dose-Response Relationship
• Drug-Drug Interaction
• Pharmacological Agonism
• Tolerance and Tachyphylaxis

Pharmacovigilance is the scientific process of monitoring, evaluating, and ensuring the safety of pharmaceutical products, particularly drugs and vaccines after they have been approved and are available for public use. It plays a critical role in identifying and managing adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and other potential risks associated with medications.

• Drug Safety Databases
• Clinical Research and Development
• Pharmacists
• Quality Assurance and Compliance

Pharmacoepidemiology is a branch of epidemiology that focuses on studying the use of medications (pharmaceuticals) in large populations and assessing their effects on public health. It involves the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of data related to drug utilization, drug safety, and drug effectiveness in real-world settings. The primary goal of pharmacoepidemiology is to provide evidence-based information to support healthcare decisions, regulatory decisions, and public health policies related to the use of medications.

• Pediatric Pharmacoepidemiology
• Geriatric Pharmacoepidemiology
• Pharmacoepidemiological Study Designs

Pharmacognosy is a branch of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences that deals with the study of medicinal substances derived from natural sources, primarily plants, but also including animals, microorganisms, and minerals. It involves the identification, isolation, characterization, and evaluation of bioactive compounds present in these natural sources, with a focus on their therapeutic properties and potential applications in medicine.

• Nutraceuticals
• Phytotherapy
• Ethnobotany

Pharmaceutical Oncology, also known as Oncology Pharmacy, is a specialized area of pharmacy practice that focuses on providing pharmaceutical care to patients with cancer. It involves the use of medications and therapies for the prevention, treatment, and management of cancer and its associated symptoms and complications.

• Hormone Therapy
• Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors
• PARP Inhibitors
• Angiogenesis Inhibitor

Pharmacometabolomics is a field of research that combines pharmacology and metabolomics to study the variations in metabolite levels in response to drug treatment. Metabolomics is the comprehensive analysis of small molecules, known as metabolites, present in biological samples, and it provides insights into the metabolic changes occurring in an organism.

• Predictive Pharmacometabolomics
• Mechanistic Pharmacometabolomics

Pharmaceutical nanotechnology refers to the application of nanotechnology principles and techniques in the field of pharmacy and drug delivery. It involves the design, development, and utilization of nanoscale materials and structures to improve the delivery, targeting, and efficacy of pharmaceutical agents. The nanoscale size of these materials (usually between 1 and 100 nanometers) gives them unique properties and behavior that can be harnessed to overcome various challenges in drug delivery and enhance therapeutic outcomes.

• Theranostics
• Nanotheranostics 

Vaccinology is the scientific discipline that focuses on the study of vaccines, their development, production, and administration to prevent and control infectious diseases. It is a branch of immunology and public health that deals with the research and development of vaccines to protect individuals and populations from various infectious agents, such as viruses and bacteria.

AI (Artificial Intelligence) and machine learning have revolutionized various industries, and drug development is no exception. The use of AI and machine learning in drug development has significantly accelerated the process, improved efficiency, and enhanced the success rate of discovering and developing new drugs.

The field of pharmaceutical psychedelic medicine was experiencing significant growth and interest. Psychedelic compounds, such as psilocybin  and MDMA were being explored for their therapeutic potential in the treatment of various mental health conditions.

• obsessive-compulsive disorder

Precision medicine, also known as personalized medicine or individualized medicine, is an approach to healthcare that tailors medical decisions, treatments, and interventions to the specific characteristics of each patient. This approach takes into account an individual's unique genetic makeup, lifestyle, environment, and other relevant factors to design personalized treatment plans and preventive measures.
