This report addresses a topic of recognized policy concern. To capture the benefits of substantial U.S. investments in biomedical R&D, parallel investments in a wide range of seemingly unrelated disciplines are also required. This report summarizes a major conference that reviewed our nation's R&D support for biotechnology and information technologies. The volume includes newly commissioned research and makes recommendations and findings concerning the important relationship between information technologies and biotechnology. It emphasizes the fall off in R&D investments needed to sustain the growth of the U.S. economy and to capitalize on the growing investment in biomedicine. It also encourages greater support for inter-disciplinary training to support new areas such as bioinformatics and urges more emphasis on and support for multi-disciplinary research centers.
The Biotechnology investment sector has been booming over the last ten years delivering substantial financial returns for public and private investors and most VC firms have been raising and deploying a lot of capital into fast-growing Biotechnology companies. However, it may seem paradoxical that the Biotechnology industry attracts increasingly more Venture Capital and Public funding whereas it is one of the riskiest and volatile sectors and most early-stage companies do not generate revenues for years and have large financial needs to cover expensive clinical trials. My research will focus on Biotechnology investments in the US and will cover the value chain of a Venture Capital firm with a competitive analysis, a detailed review of current funding trends, a performance review analysis and a study to explain why Boston has become the n°1 cluster for Biotechnology in the US. The study also includes feedbacks from 25 interviews conducted with Founders and CEOs of Biotechnology companies, Life Sciences experts, Scientists and Venture Capital investors.

The funding of biopharmaceutical research and development provides a comprehensive critical review of the funding of research and development (R&D) in the human biopharmaceutical market sector. It addresses both private and public funding sources available in the US and internationally. The biopharmaceutical market is among the most research-intensive market sectors globally. Clinical researchers face a multitude of public and private funding options with respect to bringing their idea or innovation to market. These funding options are continually changing and complex, and are expected to decrease in the near future. A lack of understanding of the scale, scope, and inner workings of the funding aspects of R&D can, at times, act as a barrier for all involved, and can slow down or even eliminate the R&D process. The book lessens these barriers by describing the theoretical underpinnings, present practice, and trends in R&D funding in this market sector, both in the US and internationally. This includes a review and discussion of public-private partnership activity and their inner-workings, noting the complementary relationship between public and private funding. The book also contains an overview of the inner-workings of strategic alliance activity, including the advantages and disadvantages for each party. It goes on to provide an outline of venture capital activity, detailing the methods by which venture capital firms raise capital and are organized, a description of the venture capital-entrepreneur arrangement, and the effects of this arrangement. The book also presents an overview of the IPO process and the various fates of firms going public. Presents a comprehensive view of the funding issues of R&D in this market sector, adopting a theory-to-practice approach A comprehensive and analytical review of the biopharmaceutical R&D literature and practice An overview of the various and competing/complementary theories of the firm and valuation methods as they apply to biopharmaceutical R&D
Janet Yellen, the Fed Chair, recently said that the valuations of small-cap biotechnology companies are substantially stretched. Biotechnology is a relatively new science and during the last few years there is an increasing number of new biotech start-up companies and also M&A activity between biotech start-ups and large biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. Few years ago, we observed one of the largest acquisitions in the biotech sector, by having Amgen buying Onyx Pharmaceuticals for more than $9 billion dollars. More recently, Moderna Therapeutics, a biotech company developing mRNA therapeutics, broke the record of VC funding, raising $450 million dollars in a single round of funding, without having a product in the market. All these recent events raise an important question: what are the valuation financial models used in the biotechnology industry? How could we value a company having negative cash flows for several years, without any product in the market? How do we value a company developing a CRISPR therapeutics currently in the preclinical level? Is there any difference on valuating a phase II drug against arthritis vs a phase II anti-cancer drug? This book is aiming to answer these essential questions by describing the key aspects of the drug discovery process, including novel financial models used for valuation of biotech companies. Furthermore, we have created new biotech valuation cases providing to the reader a practical guide for valuation of any biotech product or company.
