Is Animal Biotechnology Progressing?
By David Edwards, PhD Director, Animal Biotechnology, BIO One year ago, I was pleased to testify before the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Veterinary Medicine Advisory Committee (VMAC). The FDA convened its VMAC meetings on September 19-21, 2010 to discuss an application for a genetically engineered (GE) salmon. Developed by Massachusetts-based AquaBounty Technologies, a BIO member, the AquAdvantage salmon has been genetically engineered to grow year-round. Conventional salmon only grow in warmer months.

Evolution of Biotech Industry is a Constant
Healthcare being delivered by smartphone, homes containing treatment capabilities now only found in hospitals, groundbreaking innovations rising from the confluence of technology and science. Change is constant in the biotech industry and few industry experts know its evolution better than Steven Burrill. Burrill, CEO of Burrill and Company, presented his 25th anniversary annual report on the state of the biotech industry Biotech 2011-Life Sciences: Looking Back to See Ahead at the 2011 BIO International Convention Read More >
Unleashing the Promise of Biotechnology to Cure Disease and Save Lives
The other day I came across an article discussing vaccinations and the author mentioned his 15-year-old son asking him: “Dad, what’s polio?” Many of us are old enough to remember a time when polio struck fear and caused suffering for millions. Today, at least in the developed world, polio is something kids have to ask their parents to explain to them. Imagine someday, our grandchildren asking us, “What was cancer?” How great would that be?

New Era in Animal Biotechnology: FDA Approves Therapy Produced with Genetically Engineered Goats
As an animal scientist, today is an exciting day in my career. I know first-hand the dedication and scientific expertise needed to work towards developing technologies that use animals to improve the human condition. Animals have a long history of serving humankind, and today marks another contribution. It is a landmark day for us, and it hails the efforts of animal scientists everywhere. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted the first-ever U.S. approval of Read More >
