Show Notes
Ron Cape, co-founder, chairman and CEO of Cetus, the first biotechnology company, died earlier this month at 82. Cetus, which developed PCR technology, as well as Betaseron and Interleukin-2,has faded from the minds of industry watchers, but its impact has been lasting. The company not only provided scientific, but financial and cultural innovations that helped shaped the industry. Chiron acquired the company in 1991. We spoke to Mark Jones, director of research for the Life Sciences Foundation about Cape, the innovations he made, and his lasting contributions.
