Express Guide to Monthly Web Articles

Who Uses This Section? While primarily intended for attorneys, consultants, economic development executives and other professionals serving the biotech community, we're finding that many scientists, students and faculty also find the monthly Articles updates an easy way to keep current with a diverse range of biotech advancements.

Focus. We try to avoid citing highly-technical articles that only a practitioner in the field can understand and select articles based on their readability by non-specialists, their potential impact on society and sometimes simply their "wow, I didn't know that" interest factor.

Content. The 70+ free Web articles cited and briefly excerpted each month are grouped by general category and then further organized into more specific topics to make it easier for you to scan and access the articles of greatest interest to you. Click on the titles to access the entire article. As of December 2011, there are 6,592 web articles available in the archives.

Are there any additional online resources you would like us to monitor? Please send an e-mail to jogucwa@techmanage.com. Thank you.
