The Delta Biotech Society
Delta, the symbol of incremental change used by ancient mathematicians, is a central motif to our society. We choose this symbol in our conviction that small changes can have significant impact on people’s perceptions. Biotechnology appropriately offers the best example of where small, but significant changes fostered by researchers and entrepreneurs are revolutionizing healthcare and other fields. The Delta Biotech Society, a non-profit student initiative, is focused on applying this approach to bring about synergy to biotech by influencing students in their formative and most ambitious years. Not only do we aim to provide undergraduates with career alternatives in industry, we also put their analytical skills to use in the business context. Our society’s focus is primarily biotechnology (an umbrella term), because we have entered an era of unprecedented interest, investment and opportunities. Biotechnology has a rich history of intellectual challenges as well as business challenges. Nevertheless, successful companies such as AMGEN and Genzyme have emerged as global leaders in healthcare. Revenues in Canada for biotechnology firms have experienced average annual growth of 45% since 1997. With the society’s incremental contribution to the awareness of biotechnology, we hope to foster a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship among students.
