The Ministry
In recent years, biotechnological methods helped us identify new therapeutic approaches for treating many diseases with less side-effects or even curing them. Many of the research results were generated in Germany. But new medicines based on these research results are frequently produced in other countries. For example, only six out of 140 newly licensed active substances were developed in German pharmaceutical companies in 2005. The BMBF is therefore launching its Pharmaceuticals Initiative in order to improve the networking of stakeholders in biopharmaceutics and promote the development of new treatments in Germany.
