BIOTECHNOLOGY
Gottfried International, Inc. has been involved in the biotechnology industry since the early 1980's when we represented the agricultural biotechnology division of Royal Dutch Shell in Europe and in the United States. We conducted executive search assignments for the Shell Group's commercial plant breeding and agricultural biotechnology businesses.
Following these early assignments for the Shell Group, we conducted executive search assignments for a number of leaders in the commercial plant breeding and agricultural biotechnology sector, including: Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc., Monsanto, Agrigenetics Corp., Calgene, Stoneville Seed Company, Plant Genetics, Inc., DNAP, Continental Grain Co.'s Seed Division, Bayer Crop Science, and a number of additional leaders in agricultural biotechnology.
We worked with Rice University in Houston on the formation of Rice University's Plant Science Center; the Center is focused on agricultural biotechnology research, including research on energy crops for advanced biofuels development.
Over the past 20 years, we have been involved in helping with the formation of a number of biotechnology associations in Texas, including BioTexas and BioHouston when these organizations were in their formative stages. We were an early member of the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) in Washington, D.C.
Gottfried International, Inc. is committed to supporting a strong and growing biotechnology industry in Texas, including supporting initiatives for medical research, genomics research, agricultural biotechnology research, and renewable energy research.
