Krasnikov on biotechnology Research guided by business

Oct 5

Krasnikov outlines biotechnology's scientific foundations and potential uses in medicine, agriculture, industry, mineral extraction and environmental remediation. He identifies enzymes and proteins made using recombinant microorganisms as research priorities and cites Academy institutes working on them. In the follow-up he says high-technology companies and federal authorities act as qualified customers when research assignments are prepared, reporting more than 1,500 company requests in the previous year. These are his capability and cooperation claims, not announcements that every listed application has reached industrial production.

Asked about industry cooperation, he says high-technology companies participate as qualified customers in Academy research assignments and reports more than 1,500 requests the previous year.
