BANGALORE, July 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Today, more and more countries across the globe are dedicated towards developing a favourable environment for the growth of biopharmaceutical and biosimilar products in their respective markets. The Indian regulatory bodies like the DCGI and the ICMR too are constantly revising their norms and standards to promote clinical trials, and eventually the growth of biotech products in the country.
