This case describes the reorganization of drug discovery at GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) following the formation of GSK from the merger of Glaxo Wellcome and SmithKline Beecham. This reorganization placed nearly 2‚000 research scientists into six centers of excellence in drug discovery (CEDD). Each CEDD focused on a small set of therapeutic areas and possessed decision rights over the progression of pharmaceutical compounds through the early stages of development. It addresses issues about the benefits

percent of processed foods contain genetically modified ingredients (Biotech). GM foods are created using biotechnology to change their genetic material. A variety of techniques are used to introduce the desired genes or ‘inactivate’ unwanted ones. Techniques include benign bacterial or viral infection (bacterial carriers)‚ gene splicing‚ gene ‘silencing’‚ biolistics‚ calcium phosphate precipitation and electroporation (Biotech). This means scientists are able to put genes from two separate species

In 1998 the first genetically modified (GM) food was approved for public consumption. Since then GM foods have become part of the world’s food supply and are produced in several countries. While horror stories in the 90s promised dire consequences for introducing GM foods to the populace most of those problems have failed to arise as promised. Some scientists say that GM foods are completely safe and the proof might be that we are all still here to debate the point. GM foods are not labeled in the

of human genes and the Human Genome Project‚ many ethical questions arise. Scientists want to protect their original work‚ but patents (the main method of said protection) restrict the research ability of others. The progression of research in the biotech industry is both dependent on and hindered by patents. Also‚ with human genes‚ is patenting even ethical? With regards to decoding individual genetic codes‚ the risk for genetic profiling emerges‚ along with a myriad of other hidden problems. Patients
