biotechs

Life science startups

Biotechs are biotechnology companies—firms that use biological processes, organisms, or systems to develop products, typically in medicine, agriculture, or industrial applications.

The term appears frequently in financial contexts: Biotechs surged on news of FDA approvals.

Small biotechs often focus on drug development, while larger ones may manufacture vaccines, gene therapies, or diagnostic tools.
