About Biotechnology & Life Sciences in Canada
Biotechnology and life sciences covers therapeutics and drug discovery platforms, genomics and sequencing, biomanufacturing, diagnostics, research instruments and laboratory technology.
Clinical and regulatory stage is the fact that matters most about a company here, and it is the one most often blurred elsewhere. Where a record describes a therapy or a device, it states the stage its sources state — investigational is not approved.
