Millions of people have already benefited from medicines and vaccines developed through biotechnology, and a new report offers hope that many more will benefit in the future. The survey found 324 biotechnology medicines in development for nearly 150 diseases. These include 154 medicines for cancer, 43 for infectious diseases, 26 for autoimmune diseases and 17 for AIDS/HIV and related conditions. These potential medicines, all of which are either in human clinical trials or under review by the Food and Drug Administration, will bolster the list of 108 biotechnology medicines already approved and available to patients.
