“We’ve discovered the secret of life”

Francis CrickFebruary 28,1953

Page 2: Age of Biotechnology..

Fifty years ago, James Watson, Francis Crick and Rosalind Franklin discovered the double helix structure of DNA, setting in motion a new way to develop medicine.

It would take another 30 years before the first biotech drug was introduced and begin what economists call….

The Biotech Age(2000-2025)

Page 4: Age of Biotechnology..

Biotechnology v. Pharmaceutical

What is Pharmaceutical Technology?The study and development of compounds discovered to promote life. What is Genetics?The study of DNA and its role in heredity and cell function.What is Proteomics?The study of plant, animal and human proteins, their functional roles and their relationships with genes.What is Biotechnology?The study and development of biological products from the information gathered in Genetics.What is Life Science?The branch of science concerned with genes and genetic structures affecting, food, animal and human health.

Biotechnology Firms are by far the most research intensive of all nondefense industries:

Key Facts (1995):• Biotech firms spent $69,000 in R&D per employee in 1995• Top 5 Biotechs spent $100,000 per employee• Top 5 Pharma spent $40,000 per employee• Average expenditure for all U.S. corporations was $7,951

The Biotech AgeSnapshot: 2002

A Year of Retrenchment

Page 26: Age of Biotechnology..

Events Implications Capital markets enter third depressed year in 2003; risk averse investors play it safe with established, revenue driven companies

IPOs decline, emerging biotechs scramble for new sources of financing Publicly traded companies restructure, cutting employees & programs

Deals

Consolidation intensifies Biotech follows Big Pharma mega mergers to realize research economies of scale, cutting employees & programs

Big Biotech hunts for new products and technologies; rich get richer

Big Pharma pays premium for late-stage drug candidates to fill pipeline

Competition high amongst biotech companies for pharma deals; negotiations take longer as Big Pharma due diligence increases

Products & Technology

250 biotech products in Phase III trials If half are approved, new launches will increase by more than 70% over the next 3-4 years

Public Policy

Number of FDA approvals decline Threatens to move more R&D offshore to countries with less regulation

Priority approval times significantly increase After 21 months without a leader, FDA appoints Mark McClellan as Commissioner

• Withdrawal of risk averse Venture Capital• Significant Penetration by Generics• ImClone Scandal & insider trading effects other public biotechs• FDA approval times increase without appointed Commissioner• Flameout of post-Genomic companies whose model was in gene mining

“In general, the emerging pattern of growth in the Life Sciences suggests that new employment will likely consist of R&D (50%), manufacturing (25%), and commercial, marketing, management and support positions (25%). Given the importance of the Life Sciences to the economy of the Bay Area, it is critical for the supply of skilled labor to meet the cluster’s burgeoning needs.

Considering the long lead times inherent in changing and improving a region’s human capital equation, there are reasons to fear that the requirements of growth will outstrip the available human assets”
