Biotech Advances in the 21st Century

Before we hop into how biotechnology is shifting the way Americans work and live, let’s first define the oft-confused topic. Biotechnology is using biology and other sciences to make products that improve lives. Modern fields of science underneath the biotech umbrella include genomics, biomedical engineering and advanced immunology, a study largely in the limelight during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Biotechnology’s role in society has mostly been focused in research universities and hospitals. But, new regulations have made it easier for independent labs and corporations, in addition to accredited institutions, to research and innovate inside the biotech industry. These new changes have allowed for untapped innovation and talent to create new value and growth.

Marked by an increase in globalization and biotech companies’ stock, the private and public biotech industries continue to grow at a rapid pace. The United States east and west coasts have become hotbeds for medical innovation. With its access to a high-tech laborforce graduating from prestigious schools like Harvard, Boston College and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Boston is leading the country and quite possible the world in biological transformation.

But, not far behind is the Unvalley and cities that don’t often get the spotlight that the Bay Area and Boston do for their biotechnological advancements.

As more growth is achieved, the largest biotech companies in the world together with small biotech companies in your neighborhood will continue to shape our society going forward.

And of course, top pharmaceutical companies – like Eli Lilly, Pfizer and others – also fit in with the world’s best biotech companies. During COVID-19, they rose to the occasion with extraordinary progress on vaccination in an unprecedented amount of time.

Biotech in the Unvalley

The list of the world’s top biotech companies continues to change everyday with each new innovation and discovery. But, what doesn’t change is their contribution to the human race and society. The top 100 biotech companies are speckled across the United States, predominantly in talent hotspots like the Bay Area and Boston, as mentioned above. The top companies include Amgen, Gilead Sciences and Celgene.

However, the Unvalley has made significant progress on attracting and retaining talent, specifically in the biotech industry and related fields. Namely, Chicago is a magnet for biotechnology and pharmaceutical innovation in recent years. With such prestigious schools like Northwestern and University of Chicago graduating science experts, the Windy City is poised for even more growth into the future.
