THE GLOBAL BIOTECH INDUSTRY

There are several metrics that can be used to measure the relative standings of the autocracies and democracies in biotechnology league tables. The charts below track the ranking of universities with biology expertise, as well as the size (by market capitalization) of public biotech companies. (This latter metric indicates the relative value of each company measured by the aggregate price of its outstanding shares.) Finally, it is worth noting that while Chinese research medical centers (i.e., major medical centers that also carry out leading-edge research) are not ranked relative to their counterparts in the democracies, conclusions can be drawn from the fact that each year some 500,000 rich Chinese travel to medical centers in democracies for major medical procedures.14

Universities with strength in the biosciences and medicine are critical, as these are the launchpads of innovation in the biotechnology domain; they also groom the researchers who start biotech businesses and/or go to work in larger pharmaceutical companies. Here is the ranking of the top 100 universities in terms of their attributes in biosciences and medicine.15
