The biologics pipeline: from discovery to market

Submit your research to Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy

About the Article Collection

In 2027, Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy will be publishing an Article Collection that covers the biologics drug development pathway, from drug discovery and preclinical research to manufacturing, regulatory approval, and commercialization. This collection is designed to provide a platform for industry professionals, researchers, and experts to share their knowledge and practical insights.

The collection will focus on the following key areas:

Drug discovery and preclinical development:

  • Approaches to identifying and optimizing biologic drug candidates

  • Role of computational biology and AI in biologics discovery

Clinical development:

  • Considerations for designing clinical trials for biologics

  • Examples of successful biologics development programs

  • Impact of personalized medicine on biologics development

Manufacturing:

  • Advances in biomanufacturing technologies

  • Challenges and solutions in scaling up biologics production

  • Ensuring quality and consistency in biologics manufacturing

Regulatory pathways:

  • Navigating the regulatory approval process for biologics in key markets (e.g., FDA, EMA, PMDA)

  • Understanding the regulatory requirements for biosimilars

  • Strategies for managing regulatory hurdles and accelerating time to market

Commercialization and marketing:

  • Market access challenges and strategies for biologics

  • Addressing global health challenges with biologics, including affordability and accessibility

  • The role of patient advocacy and education in biologics marketing

This Article Collection welcomes authors to submit Reviews, Original Research, Drug Evaluations, and short Editorial articles.

The benefit of publishing as part of an Article Collection is that they often become a key resource, driving a research community forward. This has a synergistic effect on every article in the Collection. The articles often receive more views and higher citation numbers as the Collections receive increased promotion via social media and our marketing team. 

If you are interested in contributing, or would like to learn more, then please reach out to the Commissioning Editor, Alice Bough, who will be happy to assist.
