This Fundamentals section of the NYU Biotech Club website will provide summaries of various "Fundamental" concepts underlying Biotech/Pharma business that are essential to evaluating the prospects for success.
Excerpts from www.bionextreview.com
- Read Bioscience industry literature, news, and blogs.
- Choose a technology that you understand preferably near to your speciality.
- If you want to maximize attention (or post on Seeking Alpha) remember that the largest audience by far is for analysis of public companies.
- If you're unsure of which topics are hot, a surefire method is to follow the money. For instance which targets/technologies/therapeutics have recently had the most investment.
- Recent IPOs are a relatively easy place to start for a number of reasons
- The S-1 has basically everything you need to know
- IPOs are heavy on science and light on financials
- They likely haven't been covered yet by the big analysts
- You can get a lot of hits just by paraphrasing the S-1
- Its not at all necessary to make a judgment one way or the other. A business strength of scientists is objective analysis, so its okay to leave the decisions to your readers.
