pharming

Pharming is expected to be worth $100 billion globally by 2020.

Pharming has been used in the past on animals and plants to create medical substances in large quantities.

Pharming has been discussed as a likely offshoot of biotechnology since the early 1970's.

Pharming is an attacker's attack intended to redirect a website's traffic to another, bogus site.

Pharming has become of major concern to businesses hosting ecommerce and online banking websites.

Pharming is a hacker's attempt to redirect traffic from a legitimate website to a completely different internet address.

Several companies appear to be placing their biggest bets on molecular "pharming," the technique of using genetically engineered animals to produce valuable drugs.

Assets were acquired by Pharming and an investment group including University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

"Molecular Pharming."

Pharming has gained application in biotechnology since the development of trangsgenic "super mice" in 1982.

"Pharming Examples:"

Pharming is only one of many attacks that malicious firmware can mount; others include eavesdropping, active man in the middle attacks, and traffic logging.

Another company, Pharming, has asked the Food and Drug Administration to certify its human lactoferrin protein, made in transgenic cows, as "generally recognized as safe."

Rhucin (Pharming) is a recombinant C1 inhibitor under development that does not carry the risk of infectious disease transmission due to human blood-borne pathogens.

Pharming is also known as molecular farming, molecular pharming or biopharming.

Pharming can be conducted either by changing the hosts file on a victim's computer or by exploitation of a vulnerability in DNS server software.

"If you are in a clinical program and need to scale up quickly, they duplicate every 24 hours," Rein Strijker, senior vice president at Pharming, said of hamster cells.

As With Phishing, Shun Pharming Q. What is pharming?

A colorful satire titled "Post-Modern Pharming," it includes flowers sprouting hypodermic needles and pill capsules and unfortunate white rabbits, all skillfully rendered in glazed earthenware.

I have no idea what transgenic pharming is...but to contact the Genzyme Corp. in Cambridge, why not call directory assistance there and try to get a phone number for them?

Even Pharming ended up switching to conventional manufacturing using hamster cells for its first drug - a treatment for a rare genetic disorder, Pompe's disease - after starting with genetically engineered rabbits.

"Pharming," as the futuristic industry has been dubbed, has been shown to be feasible by a series of experiments in the United States and Europe that have endowed livestock with human genes.

Pharming is also another form of network abuse where a website's traffic is redirected to a bogus website, usually by exploiting vulnerabilities in Domain Name System(DNS) servers.

Pharming, a Dutch company that has recovered from a financial collapse a few years ago, is also in late-stage clinical trials of a protein called C1 inhibitor, produced in rabbits, to treat hereditary angioedema.
