 | | In recent years, there has been an explosive growth of literature in biopharmaceutical research and development of new medicines for the treatment of certain diseases that are severe and/or life-threatening. |
 | | Biopharmaceutical statistics plays an extremely important role in ensuring not only the efficacy and safety of the medicine under investigation but also that the pharmaceutical product possesses good drug characteristics such as identity, strength, purity, quality, stability, and reproducibility. |
 | | Although the contributors are mostly biostatisticians who have extensive practical experience in biopharmaceutical research and development, we have attempted to make each entry self-contained and self-explanatory to a reader who is not an expert in the subject matter of each topic. |
