Features: The biotechnology revolution is underway, and no one can ignore its existence. Over the past 20 years, tremendous advances in genetics have been changing the world as a whole. Much like Darwin's theory of natural selection at the end of the 19th century, these advancements have sparked widespread public controversy. "Green" biotechnology (typically referring to genetically modified crops) has faced harsh criticism, while "red" biotechnology (usually referring to genetically modified drugs) has gradually gained public acceptance. As new markets continue to emerge in the biotechnology sector, the substantial sales of biotech drugs have driven the growth of the pharmaceutical industry. The biotechnology field has reaped significant rewards from improving treatments for common diseases such as arthritis, and many companies are now focusing on developing drugs that patients "dream of"—better treatments for cancer, even cures for cancer. This book is an interview compilation with some of the world's top biotechnology scientists and entrepreneurs. In it, they candidly discuss the risks and rewards of biotechnology commercialization.
