New Biology Economy

New Biology Economy tracks news of the emerging molecular biology tools marketplace, which is building on foundational biotechnical advances to create new insights into complex biological systems. This blog begins with the understanding that traditional business methods must change to enable innovation to create wealth and eventually benefit patients. This will require cooperation, new ways of protecting intellectual property, and will spawn new types of business organizations.

We're Still into this Field

I haven't posted here in a while, as I have been busy with a very exciting opportunity.

But, be assured, this field that I have written about in the previous posts is never very far from my mind. The recent announcement about the sequencing of James Watson's DNA for $1 million in just a matter of months is just another notable milepost on the long road to a low-cost personal genome scan, and the questions that will bring, as well as the hope of advances.

Right now, I am involved in the establishment of a converged newsroom at Hofstra University and teaching online journalism to undergrads and graduate students. Teaching and working in a newsroom, together, at one time and trying to find the leading edge. It's wonderful.

To see my students' work from the spring 2007 semester, click here. Or, click here to read the work of the first Hofstra graduate online journalism class in the fall of 2006.

I plan to reload this site when circumstances allow, and will include new interactive and multimedia elements to enhance a conversation about the business of the emerging new biology economy.

You can always drop me an e-mail.
