Désiré Collen - Biotech Pioneer
Désiré Collen, Biotech Pioneer relates the fascinating story of scientific discovery in a time when biotechnology was not yet a science. Although the cultivation and cross fertilization of plants were, strictly speaking, biotechnological techniques, modern biotechnology dates from the early 1970s, when pioneers such as biochemist Herbert Boyer from the university of California managed to transfer genetic material into a bacterium. Together with venture capitalist Robert Swanson, Boyer set up Genentech, one of the first genetic engineering companies. Just a few years later, on the other side of the Atlantic, in Leuven, Désiré Collen discovered t-PA, the enzyme responsible for fibrinolysis...
Désiré Collen. Biotechpionier
Baron Désiré Collen vindt in de jaren 1980 een geneesmiddel uit tegen hartinfarcten, dat het leven redt van talloos veel mensen. De toon is gezet voor een levenslange zoektocht naar nieuwe en betere medicijnen. Maar Collen is ook ondernemer: met nog enkele andere wetenschappelijke toppers bouwt hij in Vlaanderen de biotechnologische industrie uit. Hij is een - nog levende - belichaming van de 'ondernemende universiteit', waar niet alleen kennis wordt overgedragen, maar waar ze ook wordt omgezet in welvaart. Zijn biografie geeft een inzicht in de pioniersjaren van het biotechnologisch onderzoek en inspireert wetenschappers, onderzoekers en ondernemers om de lat steeds hoger te leggen.
