The over-riding premise for biotechnology in this book is bringing novel products to market to substantially advance patient care and disease mitigation. Biotechnology, over its relatively brief existence of 40 years, has experienced a mercurial growth. The vast educational need for biotechnology information in this rapidly burgeoning field is a basic rationale here. However a more prominent underpinning is that, bringing biotech products to market for patient care involves success in the following four areas of engagement simultaneously - scientific advances for healthcare technologies, novel and varied products for untreated diseases, regulatory authorities, and biotech companies. Features Comprehensive coverage of biotechnology science topics used in development and manufacturing Addresses all the scientific technologies within biotechnology responsible for products on the market and the pipeline Presents business issues such as marketing and sales of the products, as well as companies engaged, and how biotech business has evolved
The text is more than a compendium of information - it is an integrated work written by an author who has experienced first-hand the nuances associated with many of the major biotechnologies of general interest today.
For the first time, this book offers an exciting and colorful overview of biotechnology for professionals and students in a wide array of the life sciences, including genetics, immunology, biochemistry, agronomy, and animal science.
For example , Green Revolution rice varieties require irrigation — in this case the required input is controlled , measured , and expensive water . Further , to perform economically the rice requires fertilization , a commercial ...
This is why the European Commission has been, for a number of years, supporting actions to improve communication among scientists in these diverse areas.
Offers detailed information on over one hundred careers in such areas as regulatory affairs, product development, information management, and sales.

During 2012, Marshall, Brown, and Jimmy Xu synthesized carbon nanotubes that have a diameter of approximately 40 nm (i.e., large enough to carry anticancer drug molecules suspended in a temperature-sensitive hydrogel).
This book, with contributions from an international array of experts, explains why biotechnology companies in different countries concentrate in a small number of locations and what accounts for the success some of these companies then go ...
