Biosimilars and Bioanalytical Methods

Biosimilars and Bioanalytical Methods is a research topic within Immunology. Science Explorer counts 17k research works in it since 1950. 14.9% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers focuses on the immunogenicity of biosimilar therapeutics, including the validation of bioanalytical methods for assessing immunogenicity, the impact of manufacturing changes on immunogenicity, and the clinical outcomes and safety of switching from reference biologics to biosimilars. The use of dried blood spots for bioanalysis and the regulatory considerations for biosimilars are also prominent topics within this cluster.
