NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire -03\/30\/12)- The Biotechnology Industry's future looks very promising with the passing of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act. The JOBS Act, which passed in the Senate by a vote of 73-26, contains several provisions which would make the pathway to capital formation more attainable for small biotechnology companies, clearing the way for American innovation and ingenuity by removing bureaucratic hurdles and red tape to speed cures and medical breakthroughs to patients. The Paragon Report examines the outlook for companies in the Biotechnology Industry and provides equity research on Human Genome Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: HGSI - News) and Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc.

This legislation would make capital formation easier for small, emerging biotechnology companies, speeding the development of new cures and treatments for patients living with debilitating diseases such as cancer, diabetes, Parkinson's, and HIV\/AIDS. Bringing such groundbreaking cures and treatments from bench to bedside is a long and arduous road, and biotechnology companies are at the forefront of the effort.\" <\/p>\n \"These reforms are especially important to innovative biotechnology companies that do not yet have product revenue and must spend investor dollars on compliance rather than the search for cures and breakthrough medicines,\" Greenwood explained. <\/p>\n The Paragon Report provides investors with an excellent first step in their due diligence by providing daily trading ideas, and consolidating the public information available on them.
