Immunopharmacology is a branch of biotechnology that focuses on the development of drugs that modulate the immune system. It is a rapidly growing field, as the immune system plays a key role in many diseases and conditions. Immunopharmacology seeks to develop treatments that can target specific components of the immune system, such as cytokines, chemokines, and other molecules, to treat a variety of diseases. These treatments can be used to treat autoimmune diseases, allergies, cancer, and infectious diseases. Immunopharmacology also involves the development of vaccines and other immunotherapies. Vaccines are used to prevent diseases by stimulating the body's immune system to recognize and fight off pathogens. Immunotherapies are used to treat diseases by stimulating the body's immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. Some companies in the immunopharmacology market include AbbVie, AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer, and Roche. Show Less Read more
