Meanwhile, top biotechnology companies are planning to purchase promising and even medium-sized companies. Then how about small biotech companies? Many companies, such as Advanced Life Sciences, Altair Therapeutics, Ambrilia Biopharma, ARYx Therapeutics, Peptimmune, Phenomix Corporation, Tolerx and Transdel have failed and had to shut down.
But with the main trend of biotech needs and world advancement, this field will keep going for a very long time and a very long road. Our company, Creative BioMart, will continuously develop with our core competencies and resources. Our recombinant proteins, for example, have gained outstanding achievements in the world.
