Title: From Alchemy to IPO: The Business of Biotechnology
by Cynthia Robbins-Roth
Edition: 2001
From the Publisher...
Written by a well-known industry insider, From Alchemy to IPO addresses the coming-of-age of biotech products and companies and traces the history of biotechnology from its early inception in the seventies to today's heyday of new solutions and breakthrough treatments. It describes the amazing entrepreneurial trail of product development, novel business models, and critical trials that eventually pave the way to market. This is the first book to accurately record the inner workings of an industry-biotechnology-that's on the verge of living up to its monumental promise to change the world as we know it.

-- Frederick Frank, Senior Managing Director & Vice Chair, Lehman Brothers

-- George Rathmann, President and CEO, ICOS Corporation, Chairman Emeritus, Amgen
