Industry Guide Releases

"It is a good career for people who care about what they do - for those who have a longer-range view and a broader perspective on their work than just what they earn....Demand for talent is mounting, and the hunt for workers at all levels is even more intense than a year ago. The industry must deal not only with a tight labor market, but also with competition from Silicon Valley to recruit a skilled labor force."

San Francisco Bay Biotechnology

The San Francisco area represents the leading edge in biotech research and development.The advancement it continues to make is due in large part from the support it receives from outstanding academic institutions (UCSF, Stanford, UC Berkeley), companies (particularly venture companies) and the Bay Area community (e.g., its recent support for stem cell research). The updated edition of San Francisco Bay Biotech, BioCareersource's flagship industry guide, has been greatly expanded. The publication,designed for jobs seeker who want to live and work in the area considerered the cradle of biotechnology, includes cutting- edge companies that are offering opportunities for career growth.

"According to BIO (Biotechnology Industry Organization)...close to a third of all the biotech companies in the US are located within California.... The remaining companies are located on the East Coast. The East Coast-in particular thecorridor between Washington,DC and Boston-is central to the biotech industry. It also offers access to Europe that the West Coast cannot match."
