BIOTECH in the NEWS
It's been awhile, but I will try to keep you up-to-date on current topics and issues in the news.
Genentech, Gilead Struggle to Hire as Biotech Booms
Interesting article about the growing opportunity in biotech for scientist due to a shortage of qualified people.
"The biotech business, which generated $51 billion in U.S. sales in 2005, is one of the fastest-growing U.S. industries, creating 40,000 jobs from 2001 to 2004, according to Battelle Memorial Institute in Columbus, Ohio. Genentech says the lack of qualified applicants means the company is ``scrambling'' to grow. A drop over the past decade in the percentage of U.S. college graduates pursuing science is making the task harder."
If your interested in biotech, Genentech (Stock Symbol: DNA) is the ultimate company to work for, but don't overlook Gilead Sciences in Foster City, CA. Other companies on the rise are Genzyme (Stock Symbol: GENZ) and Celgene (Stock Symbol: CELG) in New Jersey. Illumina (Stock Symbol: ILMN- don't be fooled by the past couple of months, great opportunity to buy), named by Forbes as the Top Fastest Growing Tech Company in 2007, also is a great local company to work for, and guess what, the co-founder and COO will be at the 4th Annual Biotech Entrepreneurial Conference on Saturday, May 5, 2007, at Cal-IT2. We also have the Dean of SDSU's MBA program and former bioentrepreneur with an inspirational behind it. We also have a great group of panelists from a wide range of successful entrepreneurs, executives, VC's, lawyers, and many others to network with. Take this opportunity and use it as a catalyst for your future career in biotech.
