Biotechnology

If BC biotechnology were, say, a fighter pilot, the industry would have notched several kills. That's a strange metaphor, of course, because BC's biotech combine living organisms and processes in engineering, technology, medicine – that is, they're committed to using technology to enhance human flourishing, not the opposite. Still BC biotech should permit itself a measure of the fighter pilot's swagger. Follow BCBusiness for its signature mix of reporting, commentary, and advice on biotechnology in BC.
