Biotechnology is a growing industry that helps solve problems across a variety of fields from medicine to agriculture. It is focused on using genetic engineering techniques to improve existing organisms, or to create new ones. The most prominent applications are vaccines, pharmaceuticals and molecular diagnostic tests however, it also permits alternative meat products, such as isolating human cells for tissue growth, and crop genes that are edited. Most drug development projects fail and it takes an extended time to bring new drugs on the market. Investors are skeptical of the biotech industry because of its high failure rate and lengthy development lead times.\n<\/p>\n
One of the most important factors for investors in biotech is the pipeline that the company has. Biotech companies must have a solid clinical trials program that can meet its short-term financial requirements. Clinical trials are expensive and they take years to complete. A successful biotech company must have at least one drug in Phase 3 or above and many drugs in phase 2 or later.\n<\/p>\n
