Sinking Sunderbans K S VENKATARAMAN If a boat is sinking in water with somebody in it and if you happen to see it, how you would feel? A vast, beautiful region called Sunderbans is sinking with all its life-forms because of Global Warming that is nothing but a blunder of human beings.

Indian R D of science and technology had been mostly government sponsored. India has a huge infrastructure and research network in place driven by nodal agencies like The Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR), The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), and Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR). With the new patent regime in place, public private collaborations on the research front are now emeging and most of the companies are catching up with discovery- led innovations. CSIR has a network of 40 laboratories and 81 field stations,extension centers and regional centers all over India to undertake R D in several dis...

Biotechnology stocks are years away from profits but don t tell that to Wall Street. In the weeks following September 11, biotech stocks held their ground as the fear of bioterrorism grew. Now that the U.S. actually faces a bioterrorism attack so far three people have died of anthrax and on October 23 federal officials said anthrax was found at a mail center serving the White House these stocks have gone through the roof. Shares of Cepheid, a California company that makes testing products to detect contamination, have risen by more than 400% in recent weeks. (It closed at $5.89 a share on October 22.) Bruker Daltonics, a Massachusetts-based developer of life sciences products, has seen its ...

What I think is .................. As consolidation continues to mark the pharmaceutical industry, more evidence to suggest that companies will increasingly turn to biotechnology companies in order to gain the competitive edge comes from a new study from Cutting Edge Information. The report reveals how 'alliance specialists' such as Pfizer, Aventis, GlaxoSmithKline, AstraZeneca, Amgen, and Chiron set up precise collaborations. The Study goes on to examine how pharmaceutical companies can achieve partner-of-choice status to develop the next generation of blockbuster products. As an example, the report highlights how newly named CEO of GlaxoSmithKline, Jean Pierre Garnier, once in position be...
