Abstract

The book covers a broad range of topics relevant to the biotechnology industry, primarily from a business standpoint. Most of the book is devoted to discussions of biotechnology products in the near and long term and their potential market sizes. In addition, the early chapters contain discussions of financing start-up companies (including some of the differences in venture capital philosophies in the US and United Kingdom) and important patent issues. Other chapters include discussions of the service industries that have grown up to support biotechnology laboratories and the problems of scaling up production from 10-liter laboratory batches to 20,000-200,000-liter commercial fermenters.

The gene business. Who should control biotechnology

Book Yoxen, E

This book discusses about the big business of genetic engineering. The author argues that the questions raised by biotechnology should be decided on ethical grounds and in terms of the public good; whereas the corporations that have sprung up to manufacture and market these man-made organisms will decide them solely in terms of profit. He examines affected (and threatened) areas such as agriculture (new crops, animal breeding); chemistry (new fuels); and pharmacology (interferon, artificial insulin); naming names and including the corporations, drug companies and scientists engaged in this enterprise, no less revolutionary than nuclear power.
Biotechnology: from university to industry

Thesis/Dissertation Kenney, M

This study examines the birth of the biotechnology industry in the US. It is argued that biotechnology may have important implications for the future of American capitalism. The study is contextualized theoretically through the use of the idea of the capitalism experiences waves of innovations at certain historical periods. Finally, the idea of a new regime of accumulation based on information technologies is explored and biotechnology's potential position in the information society is explored. The first section of the study examines the role of the university in biotechnology. The various objectives of administrators and professors are explored as is themore »« less

Final report on grand challenge LDRD project : a revolution in lighting : building the science and technology base for ultra-efficient solid-state lighting.

Technical Report Copeland, Robert; Mitchell, Christine; Follstaedt, David; ...

This SAND report is the final report on Sandia's Grand Challenge LDRD Project 27328, 'A Revolution in Lighting -- Building the Science and Technology Base for Ultra-Efficient Solid-state Lighting.' This project, which for brevity we refer to as the SSL GCLDRD, is considered one of Sandia's most successful GCLDRDs. As a result, this report reviews not only technical highlights, but also the genesis of the idea for Solid-state Lighting (SSL), the initiation of the SSL GCLDRD, and the goals, scope, success metrics, and evolution of the SSL GCLDRD over the course of its life. One way in which the SSLmore »« less

Biotechnology for degradation of toxic chemicals in hazardous wastes

Book Scholze, R; Smith, E; Bandy, J; ...

The state-of-the-art of biotechnology for degradation of toxic chemicals in hazardous wastes is discussed in this book. In particular, it discusses the applicability of using biotechnology for the treatment of hazardous/toxic wastewaters. Full-scale application of biotechnology for the treatment of municipal and industrial wastewaters has been practiced for many years. However, whether this technology can be employed for detoxification and destruction of hazardous chemicals in aqueous and solid media is not yet fully understood. Removal of toxic and refractory organics in wastewater, groundwater, and leachate may be more efficient as a result of combining biological treatment with other treatment technologiesmore »« less
