如果公共政策制定得当,生物技术对奥克兰及其周围的社区的重要性就会象计算机芯片对硅谷的重要性一样。加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校教授、城市和地区规划部主席 Edward J.Blakely 说,对生物技术产业发展承担义务能在本地区创造大量的就业机会,包括从研究到开发、生产以及生物产品市场。Blakely 说:“生物技术是美国发展最快的产业之一,因为它对于大量生产无论是以前从来不存在的产品、目前供应短缺的产品,还是那些比现有的更安全的产品都有很大潜 If public policies are well established, the importance of biotechnology to Oakland and its surrounding communities will be as important as the computer chip to Silicon Valley. Edward J. Blakely, professor at the University of California at Berkeley and chairman of the City and District Planning Department, said that taking responsibility for the development of the biotechnology industry can create a large number of job opportunities in the region, from research to development, production, and the bio-products market. Blakely said: "Biotechnology is one of the fastest growing industries in the United States because it is very large for mass production, whether it is a product that has never existed before, is currently in short supply, or is more secure than the existing ones. latent
