by Tomas Gabriel Bas (Author, Editor),‎ Jingyuan Zhao (Editor)

The development of biotechnological innovations is quickly becoming a globalized phenomenon as emerging nations are making major strides to compete with more developed economies. Though efforts to bridge the gap between emerging and developed nations have been successful, there are still many barriers that need to be overcome.
