I'd push back against biotech/pharma/medical industry not really changing for 20 years. The advances of computation and biostatistics that leverage increasing computational power are huge waves to hit the industry. The field of pharmacoepidemiology, for instance, which uses computer programs to analyze big pharma data, that barely existed in 1998. Consider all the analysts and researchers using tools never even dreamed of in 1998, whether we're talking modeling of biological processes, advanced microscopy, advances in countless biological fields that make the process of manipulating cells much more easy. It's just not accurate to say the field hasn't changed for over 20 years.
Talk a walk around MIT 20 years ago and this year and there would be a MASSIVE build-out of biotech companies. That alone is evidence to refute your claim.
