Biotech Business Handbook How to Organize and Operate a Biotechnology Business, Including the Most Promising Applications for the 1990s

Dr. Michael G. Pappas has distilled in this remarkable, nearly 500-page ring-bound handbook over twenty years' experience as a research scientist at the bench, a senior manager wrestling with day-to-day business problems, and as a consultant providing critical expertise to small-to-medium size biotechnology firms and the federal government. The result is a gold mine of information about the industry and a solid foundation for starting and managing a new business in the biotechnology segment of the healthcare industry. On the business side, The BioBusiness Handbook illuminates how the individual parts of a company interact and work together and discusses in detail the stages and methods of product development, the secrets of quality control and assurance, how biotechnology products are marketed, the inside story on regulatory compliance, and navigating the new drug approval process. On the science side of the business, Dr. Pappas devotes almost forty percent of the book to summarizing and explaining the emerging technologies that will dominate future developments in the next ten years, among them, advances in gene therapy, transgenesis, artificial tissues and organs, diagnostics, bioremediation, nucleic acid probe assays, the human genome initiative, and vaccine, drug, antisense, and third-strand therapies. The BioBusiness Handbook contains over 1100 references to books, periodicals, and scientific journals (including 1994 references) that will round out your knowledge and make you an expert in the business of biotechnology.
