Genzyme’s Gaucher Initiative: Global Risk and Responsibility In contrast to other biotechnology firms‚ Genzyme began focusing on supplying raw materials (enzymes)‚ fine chemicals and reagents to large research laboratories and pharmaceutical companies. The company rudiments‚ from the very beginning‚ for generating capital to finance new projects was to use revenues to raise cash flows and to create a track record that would allow it to fund further growth. The company was founded in 1981 on

acquisition will improve efficiency for Roche‚ since Genentech can now completely focus her research on topics that is relevant for Roche. Now they can do research in large volumes‚ the average costs will be reduced. The expertise of Genentech on the biotechnology field will probably be very valuable for Roche. Roche can now fully takeover the properly educated workforce of Genentech‚ which is a more easy way to get the right employees instead of recruiting them. This will create synergies‚ which is beneficial

MEDICAL IMPLICATIONS A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. Organisms that have been genetically modified include micro-organisms such as bacteria and yeast‚ insects‚ plants‚ fish‚ and mammals. GMOs are the source of genetically modified foods‚ and are also widely used in scientific research and to produce goods other than food. HUMANS Human gene therapy Gene therapy is the use of DNA as

Soybean As of 2004‚ 85 percent of the soybeans grown on U.S. soil have been genetically modified [source: Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology] Because soy is widely used in the production of other items (including cereal‚ baked products‚ chocolate and even ice cream)‚ chances are everybody in the U.S. is eating GM soy. It might be worth noting‚ however‚ that tofu and soy sauce are usually

In the last decade‚ genetic engineering has become an important subject in engineering‚ biotechnology‚ and economics. It has become a controversial debate between advocates of science from one hand‚ and the advocates of religion‚ which is apparently the adversary of science‚ from the other hand. Supporters of science believe that genetic

My Reaction to Agricultural Biotechnology On December 3‚ 2013‚ Rick Welsh‚ a professor of food studies visited Monmouth College to speak about agricultural biotechnology‚ along with how it has been developed and the impacts that it is having on society. After hearing Professor Welsh mention that he was going to be speaking about agricultural biotechnology‚ I instantly thought of the documentary film that I watched a couple days ago‚ The World According to Monsanto. Monsanto is a food company that
