I am a writer looking at writing an article about the effect of biotechnology on economic zones. While there may be a wonderful future painted in much of the media about the future of biotechnology on jobs, careers, etc, none of this has yet translated into a significant economic benefit for a region.
Before I trash a young industry entirely, I'm curious if there are any supporters out there who would believe that I have missed something. Where has the impact of botechnology been felt? Or, is it truly just a way for venture capital companies to "cash in"?
