Big picture
| Time period | Development summary | More data |
|---|---|---|
| 1950s | Early development | Biotechnology arguably takes off around this time, spurred by a better understanding in the post-war period of cell function and molecular biology. A major milestone in this decade is the discovery of the 3D structure of DNA.[1] |
| 1960s | Field identity creation | In this period, biotechnology acquires a single identity.[2] Around the end of the decade, the exceptional developments in electronics initiate a period of exponential growth in biotechnology, particularly in the fields of bioimaging and functional evaluation.[3] |
| 1970s | Pioneering work | Pioneering work in biotechnology can be traced back to the mid-decade.[4] Technological advances, start altering the production process and facilitate production of specialized products from generalized machinery, particularly in high throughput screening, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), polymerase chain reaction, advances in massspectrometry and crystallography.[5] Massive strides in DNA research are conducted.[1] |
| 1980s | Business emergence | The biotech arena emerges, when molecular biology is introduced in the business world.[6] The evolution of the modern biotech industry as it is known today is considered to begin in this decade, with scientific innovations leading to the commercialization of products.[4] Great advances in biotechnology are made.[7] The development of the first biotech-derived drugs and vaccines to treat diseases such as cancer and hepatitis B are milestones of the 1980s.[1] |
| 1990s | Explosive growth | This is often seen as the decade of biotechnology.[8] An explosion in understanding the pathophysiology of human diseases leads to the development of many innovative new medicines. Molecular engineering becomes prominent, and the full potential of monoclonal antibodies is finally realized.[4] |
| 2000s | Focus toward chronic diseases | A notably continued expansion of biotechnology into chronic diseases is experienced, including new biotech products and second or third indications for existing biologic products. An emphasis is put on the commercialization of biotech products for chronic diseases with an immune etiology. Also, this decade can be characterized as the era of acquisitions of biotech companies by big pharmaceutical companies.[4] |

| 2002 | Research | Based largely on financial and economic criteria, Fisken and Rutherford identifiy three different business models in European biotechnology companies. The Product Business Model: originates from the pharmaceutical model where value is added along the activities of the value chain to deliver a final product to market. This is a proven model where most of the top biotechnology companies in the world are classed as product companies. The Platform Business Model: This is a relatively new concept which aims to generate value from the front end of the industry value chain. It is based on the development of research tools or platform technology that can provide a service to another organization or can be licensed for further development along the value chain The Hybrid Business Model: "This business model is a hybrid of the product and platform business model. It generally consists of a platform technology that is able to generate a pipeline of products. This model is an evolution of the platform business model in that it aims to generate value through downstream activities of the biotechnology value chain. The pipeline of products can be developed organically or through additional in-licensing, purchasing exclusive or semi-exclusive access to another’s technology, to enhance product development opportunities. The convergence of the product and platform business model to create a hybrid model provides investors with the benefit of reduced risk and the potential for future revenue growth. This approach will need to become the preferred model for new and existing biotechnology companies to maintain growth and sustainability in the industry."[5] | ||
