Introduction
Gene therapy is no longer just a scientific concept—it’s a revolution reshaping modern medicine. As India’s pharmaceutical sector rapidly evolves, gene-based treatments are emerging as a promising solution for genetic disorders, cancer, and rare diseases.
At United Biotech India, we are committed to fostering innovation and exploring next-generation therapies that could redefine patient care.
What is Gene Therapy?
Gene therapy involves modifying or replacing defective genes in a patient’s cells to treat or prevent disease.
Unlike traditional drugs that manage symptoms, gene therapy targets the root cause at the molecular level — offering the potential for long-term or even permanent cures.
Common approaches include:
- Gene replacement therapy – inserting a healthy copy of a gene
- Gene editing – correcting genetic errors using tools like CRISPR
- Gene silencing – blocking faulty gene expression
🇮🇳 India’s Growing Role in Gene Therapy Research
India’s biotechnology and pharma industries are witnessing rapid growth, supported by:
- Government initiatives under Make in India and Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC)
- Collaboration between research institutions and pharmaceutical companies
- Increasing investment in biotech innovation
United Biotech India continues to align its R&D goals with these national missions, focusing on biologics, biosimilars, and advanced therapeutic platforms. 🔗 Explore our innovation-driven product portfolio:
