As we know from history, it will repeat itself. What gets larger will spawn the new cutting edge thoughts and companies. This is what keeps innovation alive. The industry will not remain static, it will evolve into a new animal. It is up to individuals and how they want their culture to be. This culture that we have in Biotech will relect those who are the sum of its parts. Only the future knows, let's revisit this question in another 5 years and see how it all plays out.

At Beaker, we are constantly trying to track the leading companies in medical devices, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & the like. Well, with the rash of recent M&A activity, its tough to stay up to date. Imagine the answer to this question just a few years ago: Amgen, Genentech, Immunex, Chiron, etc. It never ceases to amaze how the profile of this young industry changes so quickly. The question is: Will the biotechnology industry lose its identity if its biggest & most successful players continue to get merged into more traditional corporate structures?
