Biotech Remains Strong in Florida
Florida has always attracted visionaries – from Walt Disney to Kennedy Space Center. The ambition of great men helped transform inhospitable swamps into engines of the economy. However, with no income tax, and a large retiree population, Florida’s revenue long depended on booming tourism and the sales tax revenue it brought in. In the 1990’s, Florida’s leaders began to change that. Enterprise Florida was born. This public/private partnership was designed to identify and provide incentives Read More >
BioFlorida Conference: Here’s What You Missed

Bayh Dole Act a failure?
By Guest Writer Joseph Allen One hotly debated topic in Washington of real importance to the biotechnology community is how well the annual multi-billion dollar federal investment in R&D is being translated into new products, jobs and companies needed to improve the lives of US taxpayers and help pull the US economy out of its current doldrums. An interesting insight on the debate is captured in a Washington Post article “Innovation’s golden opportunity” that ran Read More >
Banning Gene Patents Will Promote Innovation?
Abolishing gene patents will deter, not promote, innovation, as the patent eligibility of isolated DNA molecules provides incentives necessary for development of life-enhancing diagnostics and therapeutics. R&D to identify genes, their sequences, genetic variations, and their disease correlation is very costly. Claims like those of the patents at issue in the Myriad Genetics lawsuit have been a key foundation supporting the massive investment of time and capital that is necessary to bring life-enhancing DNA-based diagnostics Read More >
