The Apples, Amazons and Googles of the next few decades will be
biotech companies. The tech companies of the last few years have
changed how we do things but the businesses driving the biotech
revolution are about making life better. These companies will solve
many of our most intractable problems: cancer, dementia, diabetes,
elderly care, mental health challenges, even power generation and
agricultural production. Biotech will mean that we can live far
better, safer, healthier, wealthier, happier, and longer lives.
Very few people in the general population have any idea of the
phenomenal progress being made in these areas. There are already
"miracle cures" for several diseases with far more to come.
Exponential progress will drive the price of such things down far
enough to make them widely available globally. This goes a long way
beyond just "healthcare". These technologies could be key to
dealing with climate change and the destruction of the natural
world. This is a landmark and important book by a biotech
investment expert who has been working in the industry for the past
6.5 years and knows how biotech does and doesn't work, as well as
having a fair few interesting stories about working with some of
the leading players / companies in the space. To add a current spin
to this, his biggest client, Oxford Biomedica, is one of the main
manufacturers of the Astra Zeneca COVID vaccine and is also the
company that helped Novartis get the cost of treatment for kids
with leukaemia down from $3 million a go to $300,000. The company
has gone from £20m value to over a billion (and in the FTSE250) in
the last 7 years as a result. The book explains what biotech is,
what is coming next, and in a final section, how interested
investors can profit from it.
