Growth driven by America's leading biotechnology companies
Did you know?
The mRNA technology platform used to develop COVID-19 vaccines in record time was originally pioneered by researchers studying cancer treatment decades before the pandemic — demonstrating how foundational biological research can rapidly translate into life-saving applications. The biotechnology sector has produced some of the most dramatic stock price movements in financial markets: successful drug trial results can double or triple a company's value overnight, while failed trials can erase most of it. US biotechnology companies invest more in research and development relative to revenue than almost any other industry, making the sector one of the most innovation-intensive in the global economy.
