How biotech ideas move toward the marketplace

Stephanie A. Wisner’s guide connects biotechnology with the practical work of building a start-up, explaining how scientific strategy, financing, and business decisions intersect as medicines and vaccines move toward the marketplace. Its organizing idea, “Building Backwards,” is presented as a way to plan for company formation while considering clinical strategy and potential business and scientific risks from the outset. The book also addresses the cost of medicines and vaccines and uses the broader question of biotech start-up success to frame its discussion. The emphasis is on entrepreneurship as a route for bringing scientific advances into commercial use.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People interested in how biotechnology start-ups are formed and financed
  • Readers seeking an introduction to the business and scientific considerations involved in bringing medicines or vaccines to market

Ever wonder how medicines and vaccines enter the marketplace? Why they are so expensive? Most people have heard about Theranos, a story of failure: how do biotechnology start-ups actually succeed?

 

In Building Backwards to Biotech, author Stephanie A. Wisner demystifies the subjects of biotechnology, start-ups, and finance to answer these questions. Wisner unlocks the secrets of how to build a biotech company successfully by keeping one process always in mind: Building Backwards.

  • Increase your chances of starting a "winning" company
  • Inform capital raising
  • Lead to a strong clinical and scientific strategy
  • Mitigate business and scientific risk from the outset

 

Wisner believes in the power of entrepreneurship to drive cutting-edge science to market successfully and its ability to help people suffering with diseases currently considered untreatable. She believes good science combined with innovative business practices has the power to literally save and enrich lives. Building Backwards to Biotech will make it easier for interested individuals to bring this kind of work to a waiting world.
