No, it can not be nor would you want to. Biologics are extremely costly to manufacture. Aseptic bioreactors are not cheap. When you hear of the $200k treatment drugs these are typically biologics. There are many biologics on the market. Remicade, Humira, Gardisil. This is the main difference between a "biotech" company and a "pharma" company although these lines are fairly blurred now. Most of the drugs coming out of Amgen, Genentech. Celgene etc are biologics. Mots of the big pharma companies started out only making small molecule drugs. For purposes of this board, the best example of a biologic would be the PCSk9 inhibitors that use antibodies and or siRNA. RVX is technically a small pharma company and not a biotech although we all interchange the terms.
