The rewards for biotechnology are tremendous - to solve disease, eliminate poverty, age gracefully. It sounds so much cooler than Facebook.

Biotech research is incredibly important for health-care innovation.

The potential for synthetic biology and biotechnology is vast; we all have an opportunity to create the future together.

Right now people are interested in genetic engineering to help the human race. That's a noble cause, and that's where we should be heading. But once we get past that - once we understand what genetic diseases we can deal with - when we start thinking about the future, there's an opportunity to create some new life-forms.

I'm very interested in the impact of biotechnology on the way people live.

I'm an investor in a number of biotech companies, partly because of my incredible enthusiasm for the great innovations they will bring.

Even if we never cure a single disease, the Human Genome Project and other ventures will have been worth it.

My passion for innovation and my interest in the 'business of science' has seen Biocon commercialize many innovative platforms and products.

Throughout my career, as both a physician and a scientist, I have drawn inspiration from Merck's unwavering commitment to scientific excellence. Over time, this commitment has brought forth an unparalleled number of breakthrough medicines and vaccines that improve the lives of patients around the world.

The biotech game is quickly changing. The people must demand their use of these treatments.
