Attracting sufficient equity capital to fund critical research is often a challenging task for the industry. This problem is exacerbated by an outdated tax regime that was largely set in place well before the advent of the modern biotechnology industry.

This approach allows us to take a broad prospective to see what kinds of biological systems are undergoing adaptation.
