Reviews & Statements

Editors Bas and Zhao present readers with a collection of academic essays and scholarly articles focused on contemporary approaches to the manufacturing of biotechnological products around the world and their use in both the developed and emerging nations. The sixteen selections that make up the main body of the text are devoted to the neutraceutical industry, biotechnology, and nutrigenomics engineering; impacts on the productive sector from the convergence between biotechnology and ITC; the influence of star bioscientists on obtaining venture capital for Canadian dedicated biotechnology firms, and other topics. Tomas Gabriel Bas is a faculty member of the University of Talca in Chile. Jingyuan Zhao is a faculty member of the University of Toronto, Canada.

– Protoview Reviews

This volume takes a comprehensive and comparative look at the growth of biotechnology in both developed and emerging countries. It examines a number of factors that weigh on the success of biotechnology in each type of economy, such as biotech production, government support and promotion, development capabilities and competencies, competition in biotech, and more. Fifteen chapters share a variety of scholarly perspectives as they examine global biotechnology development in Chile, Turkey, Canada, China, Mexico, and other countries.They are generally well structured and may provide background, methodology, discussion, future research directions, and conclusion sections.The material in this volume would appeal to global policy makers, educators, students, and professionals in the biotechnology sphere.
