PROFILE |
 |
Designer genes are still chic at Genentech, one of the world's top biotech firms. More than 70% of sales come from nine products, including Rituxan (a non-Hodgkins lymphoma drug), Activase (post-heart attack treatment), Nutropin and Protropin (human growth hormones), and breast cancer treatment Herceptin. The company has an asthma product awaiting regulatory approval and other drugs in clinical development. Genentech earns royalties for hepatitis B vaccines, human and bovine growth hormones, and other products licensed to major drug companies. Genentech's foreign sales are handled by Hoffman-La Roche, whose parent Roche Holding also owns 58% of Genentech.
