Written by industry academics and executives, the book provides a detailed overview of the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, genomics/proteomics, medical device and information technology sectors.

[Bernhard · Rating 3 out of 5]

Partially a bit repetitive, but gives quite a good intro to several of the current issues. Good summary of regulatory items under Biotech chapter.
Selection of individual essays - some graphs are even duplicate! :-(
A bit verbose, but all in all quite good.
