Scientists know science; businesspeople know
business.
This book explains both.
As biotechnology changes paradigms in medicine, agriculture, and
industrial processes, there is a pressing need for cross-trained
individuals capable of developing new innovations and bringing them to
market. Building Biotechnology helps readers start and manage
biotechnology companies and understand the business of biotechnology.
This acclaimed book describes the convergence of scientific, political,
regulatory, and commercial factors that drive the biotechnology industry
and define its scope.
In addition to its popularity among business professionals and
scientists seeking to apply their skills to biotechnology, Building
Biotechnology has also been adopted as a course text in dozens of
advanced biotechnology programs including MBA programs at UC
Irvine, Tepper, and Schulich; the Johns Hopkins biotechnology MS/MBA
program; and extension programs at Berkeley and UC San Francisco.
Building Biotechnology is designed to meet the following needs:
- Many seasoned business professionals, even those within
biotechnology companies, are eager to apply their skills to
biotechnology but are challenged to understand how the industry
operates.
- Many entrepreneurial scientists are eager to realize the
commercial potentials of their inventions and ideas but are
unfamiliar with business development.
- Many interested readers are frustrated by the lack of books
describing commercial aspects of biotechnology.
This
second edition significantly expands upon the foundation laid by the
first, updating case law and business models in this dynamic industry
and adding significantly more case studies, informative figures and
tables. Most importantly, Building Biotechnology enables seasoned
business professionals and entrepreneurial scientists alike to
understand the drivers of biotechnology businesses and apply their
established skills for commercial success.
Informative, clear, and highly accessible, Building Biotechnology
is required reading for anyone seeking to capitalize on the expanding
influence of biotechnology.
