../news/biotech.html Contemporary developments within the sciences of genetic engineering
and biotechnology have been instrumental in constellating a series of
relationships that are bringing together research in molecular biology
(genetics, biotech, immunology, endocrinology), developments in applied
research and clinical technologies (genomic
mapping, gene therapy,
PCR,
DNA
chips), and a variety of legal, social, and ethical issues (biotech
& corporatization, patenting issues, genetic screening & DNA fingerprinting). |
|
For example, in May of 1998, Perkin-Elmer
Corporation (a leading supplier of "life systems" technologies for
research and analysis in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, environmental,
and agricultural industries), The
Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR - a not-for-profit genetic
analysis organization), and Dr. J. Craig Venter (a controversial genetic
researcher and director of TIGR), announced that a new genomics company
(Celera Genomics)
would be formed with the intent of completing the mapping of the human
genome in less time and for less money than the government-supported
Human
Genome Project. |
|
The alliance between Perkin-Elmer, Venter, and TIGR (whose website
icon consists of a tiger leaping from a double helix of DNA) not only
constitutes an important shift from national or government-supported
research to a commercial or corporate frame, but it also marks an important
encircling of research and development, a technology industry (new sequencing-machines
produced by Perkin-Elmer), and commerce. |
