For our Top Companies issue, we asked Ronald A. Rader, president of the Biotechnology Information Institute, to provide a list of the Top 57 Biopharma Products by 2011 revenues (in millions). Mr. Rader subscribes to the same criteria as Contract Pharma — that biopharmaceuticals are pharmaceuticals manufactured by living organisms (involving biotechnology/bioprocessing), including recombinant and non-recombinant proteins, antibodies and vaccines.  Thus, “If it’s small molecule, it ain't biopharma!”
