BIOPRENEURS: MOLECULAR MILLIONAIRES
Biopreneurs,
from the title on is well-structured into four main
sections. The reader is smoothly driven in a dynamic and
convincing way to understand the interactions of the
scientific aspects of biotechnology with legal, political,
regulatory and even ethical approaches required to make
biotechnology a commercial success.
Indeed, the opening chapters introduce readers to the real
concept of applied biotechnology, defined not only as a
product or service making one, but also as a mixture of
technologies that altogether and in harmony allow the
development of a long-lasting commercial biotechnology.
Particularly noticeable is the clarifying chapters on
various issues and the differentiation between the
intertwined concepts normally associated with the issue of
intellectual property. Next, the author dives the reader
into corporate biotechnology, highlighting the requirements
to establish a biotechnology company.
This is a
pivotal issue for pure-science biotechnologists, regularly
deprived of the required background to build-up from bench
to market. The last section is a well-organized basic tour
through relevant issues that get together science and
technology as a functional unit. It clearly shows the reader
that being successful in biotechnology is not an easy task,
but not impossible either if the proper steps are followed.
Notwithstanding, one of the key concepts resulting from
reading the book is that of optimism.
Biotechnology has destroyed paradigms, created new ones and
reborn others, always with a positive slope, selling the
feeling that we are just at the beginning of a never-ending
process. Dr. Ryan Baidya is an enthusiast. Through the
different sections of his book he speeds up to convince the
reader that getting into Biotechnology is a must.
Biopreneurs: The Molecular
Millionaires is a robust, commercially-oriented
readable book that should be read not only by
specialists, but also by entrepreneurs who foresee
Biotechnology as the business of tomorrow.

“Biopreneurs: The
Molecular Millionnaires” is superbly written in a simple format that
can be understood even by non-technical persons despite incredible
complexities of the biotechnology ventures. Remarkable advances in
bioscience during the last decade have further spurred the
imagination of entrepreneurs, who often tend to be global thinkers,
adventurous, risk takers and market makers despite the odds.
