An Introduction to Biotechnology

Biotechnology has brought about the discovery and development of a new generation of human therapeutics. Advancements in both cellular and molecular biology have allowed scientists to identify and develop a host of new cost-effective products. These products provide significant clinical benefits, and in many cases, provide therapies where no effective treatment existed. Since its inception, Amgen has been committed to creating valuable therapeutics, providing life-improving alternatives and enhancing patients' quality of life.
