The present book entitled "Novel Frontiers in the Production of
Compounds for Biomedical Uses" can perhaps be placed in its best
perspective by the Shakespearean character in The Tempest who
exclaimed" What's past is prologue." Indeed, this compilation of
some of the outstanding presentations in the field of biomedicine
made at th the 9 European Congress on Biotechnology (Brussels,
Belgium, July 11-15, 1999) not only reflects the achievements of
the recent past, but provides a privileged glimpse of the
biotechnology that is emerging in the first decade of the new
Millennium. It is becoming increasingly apparent that biotechnology
is offering biomedicine novel approaches and solutions to develop a
sorely needed new generation of biopharmaceuticals. This is all the
more necessary because in recent years, new diseases have emerged
with extraordinary lethality in all corners of the globe, while
age-related chronic illnesses have filled the gap wherever
biomedicine has made successful inroads. The rise of antibiotic
resistance also poses major threats to public health. Thus, as
disease patterns evolve, the rational development of new drugs is
becoming urgent, not only for the clinical outcome of patients, but
also in optimising the allocation of scarce health care resources
through the use of cost-effective productions methods. It is in
response to all these challenges that biotechnology offers new
strategies that go beyond the more traditional approaches. By the
mid-1990's, the number of recombinant products approved annually
for therapeutic use reached double digits. With the advent of the
genomics revolution.
