Living and working within their local communities Countrywide appreciate not only the UK rural way of life but the needs of their customers. That's why their online stores sell almost everything you need.

PMPs in clinical trials and advanced PMIPs - Research findings first presented at FinMed 2006, on 30th March 2006 - table as of July 2011. - Being updated Mar. '14

with thanks to Professor Julian K-C Ma, Francois Arcand and Dr Ulrich Steiner - © Brian Marshall, MolecularFarming.com - 2006 ---->


Research findings summary
1] From 1995 - 2006 the total amount of land used for every PMP trial done outdoors was less than 1200 acres ( an average US farm)
2] By 2015 - even with 40 approved PMP drugs with $1bn markets each, land use will be less than 40,000 acres - less than 50 farms.
3] Molecular Farming of PMPs is "pharmaceutical gardening", and has little in common with food agriculture
4] PMIPs have the potential to have more significant land use than PMPs, especially in the area of Biofuels.
5] On examination of PMIP products and regulation stage achieved so far, major growing in the 1,000,000+ acres scale is extremely unlikely before 2013. ( Molecular Farming of PMIPs will not be comparable to any major Global food / feed / fibre production in the near term )

During my initial research I have found that PMPs are in development for almost all major human diseases and conditions, including
Alzheimer's disease , Anthrax, Arthritis , Cancer, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), Crohn's disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Diabetes, Heart Disease, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, Influenza, Iron deficiency, Kidney Disease, Measles, Multiple sclerosis, Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Obesity, SARS and Spinal Cord Injuries.
Animal / poultry vaccines and medicines are also in development for diseases like Avian flu, Coccidiosis, Fowl pest, Parvovirus and Rabies
