In the last twenty years, biotechnology has become one of the world’s most rapidly growing industries, as researchers dig out the ever unfolding capabilities of a single cell.
The preponderance of biotechnology companies are focused on medical science. Corporations such as
Amgen, Gilead Sciences, and Merck & Co. are the leaders in development of medicine production, refining synthetic therapeutics to greater effectiveness and reduced cost.
Other biotech companies, such as Geron and Heal Corporation, are primarily dedicated to investigating the environmental and genetic factors for disease.
It has been speculated that the top biotechnology companies may well outpace their pharmaceutical counterparts in as little as five years.
Biotech companies also play a part in repairing the environment and improving existing industrial processes. With innovations in solar energy, chemical manufacturing, agriculture, and waste repurposing, biotech companies put the intricacies of the natural cell to astonishing practical use.
