If you are an investor looking at biotech, you should read this book
Biotech Investor
Well structured and interesting Tom Abate is a good writer and knows his subject.I thought this book was written in a guarded, pragmatic way that suits the reader's purpose (presumably investment).The dustjacket shouts of a 'coming boom' but the author can be forgiven for what is basically puffery.Abate is clearly arguing for a period of drawn out growth fuelled by demographics and accelerating technical progress - not an imminent goldrush. I gained a number of insights I consider valuable: Timely, relevant and convincingly argued.I'd probably buy another book by this author.
A strong dose of reality to the often hype driven sector Who this book is for: The Good: The Bad: I gave it 5 stars because if you are going to invest in biotech the book will more than pay for itself. ... Read more |
43. Life As Surplus: Biotechnology and Capitalism in the Neoliberal Era by Melinda Cooper | |

Editorial Review Product Description The biotech revolution relocated economic production at the genetic, microbial, and cellular level. Taking as her point of departure the assumption that life has been drawn into the circuits of value creation, Cooper underscores the relations between scientific, economic, political, and social practices. In penetrating analyses of Reagan-era science policy, the militarization of the life sciences, HIV politics, pharmaceutical imperialism, tissue engineering, stem cell science, and the pro-life movement, the author examines the speculative impulses that have animated the growth of the bioeconomy. At the very core of the new post-industrial economy is the transformation of biological life into surplus value. Life as Surplus offers a clear assessment of both the transformative, therapeutic dimensions of the contemporary life sciences and the violence, obligation, and debt servitude crystallizing around the emerging bioeconomy.

Basic
A Calculator and This Book on Every Lab Bench Adults and students in my three-year biotechnology pathway (San Mateo Biotechnology Career Pathway) have weak, incomplete or dated math backgrounds.Dr. Stephenson's "Calculations for Molecular Biology anf Biotechnology" quickly and clearly explains and demonstrates how to make the most common calculations done in biotechnology research and manufacturing. In a conversational way, that puts users of all levels at ease, the book does a particularly good job of presenting text in small, digestible amounts with practice problems and answers directly following. For my program, Chapter 1 (Scientific Notation and Metric Prefixes) and Chapter 2 (Solutions, Mixtures, and Media) are excellent reviews and remediation of calculations taught in the first semester's standard lab training. Other chapters include several sections that are used or could be used as reference for my second and third year students.Some of these include bacterial growth curves and cell culture concentrations (Chapter 3), DNA Quantitation using spectrophotometers and gels (Chapter 5), PCR reactants concentration and preparation (Chapter 8), Protein Quantitation using spectrophotometry (Chapter 10), and Data Analysis (Chapter 12). One of the things I like best about the book is that there are so many topics presented that my students have proposed several new research ideas utilizing the techniques and calculations presented. I recommend this book as a reference for technicians, researchers, students, and teachers who work or are training to work in biotechnology labs or manufacturing facilities. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Listen to a short interview with Robert Paarlberg Heading upcountry in Africa to visit small farms is absolutely exhilarating given the dramatic beauty of big skies, red soil, and arid vistas, but eventually the two-lane tarmac narrows to rutted dirt, and the journey must continue on foot. The farmers you eventually meet are mostly women, hardworking but visibly poor. They have no improved seeds, no chemical fertilizers, no irrigation, and with their meager crops they earn less than a dollar a day. Many are malnourished. Nearly two-thirds of Africans are employed in agriculture, yet on a per-capita basis they produce roughly 20 percent less than they did in 1970. Although modern agricultural science was the key to reducing rural poverty in Asia, modern farm science—including biotechnology—has recently been kept out of Africa. In Starved for Science Robert Paarlberg explains why poor African farmers are denied access to productive technologies, particularly genetically engineered seeds with improved resistance to insects and drought. He traces this obstacle to the current opposition to farm science in prosperous countries. Having embraced agricultural science to become well-fed themselves, those in wealthy countries are now instructing Africans—on the most dubious grounds—not to do the same. In a book sure to generate intense debate, Paarlberg details how this cultural turn against agricultural science among affluent societies is now being exported, inappropriately, to Africa. Those who are opposed to the use of agricultural technologies are telling African farmers that, in effect, it would be just as well for them to remain poor. Customer Reviews (4)

Editorial Review Product Description In The Business of Bioscience, What goes into making a Biotechnology Product you will be introduced to key aspects of the biotech and product development process. This includes: the characteristics of a biotech entrepreneur, legally establishing your company, raising all forms of capital, selecting development milestones, dealing with personnel issues, the significance and impact of a business model, market strategies and their impact on raising money, regulatory compliance issues, and why you must manage differently at different organizational life stages. Each chapter provides helpful background information yet quickly moves to in-depth discussions of these subjects so that those with more experience in these areas will also benefit. Knowledge is essential for success, and most biotech entrepreneurs are very knowledgeable; however, a distinguishing difference between a good biotech leader and a great biotech leader is having wisdom—the ability to apply specific knowledge at the right time, in the right situation. This aspect is an overarching theme of this book. The Business of Bioscience As you read The Business of Bioscience, you will learn the mechanics and business strategy of how to establish and grow a life science company. You will come away with an understanding of the expectations of biotech investors, and gain insight that will equip you to raise the needed capital for your company. Because securing funding for a biotechnology company is a crucial requirement if one hopes to have any opportunity for success, two chapters are devoted to multiple aspects of the fundraising and financing process. There is literally not enough capital available to fund all good ideas; this book provides the reader with an edge by outlining the expectations of investors and teaching what constitutes a fundable company. The future of a start-up biotechnology company is heavily dependent upon the choices made at critical junctures. The consequences of various choices sometimes seem subtle but can have a dramatic impact on the future direction of a company. Therefore, it is essential that the biotech entrepreneur gain expansive working knowledge in all areas of business, market, and product development. In this book, you will learn the technical information coupled to strategy fitted into a context of the "bigger picture". All biotechnology companies will experience seemingly insurmountable challenges at some juncture but success can also be found through creativity and persistence; the author appropriately covers a rarely discussed but important topic, "When do you call it Quits?" This book provides practical information directly applicable for building a biotech organization and developing a product through to commercialization regardless of how small or large a company. The information in The Business of Bioscience will help guide entrepreneurs and their teams through rough spots and help them avoid many detours along the way.
