No, not a cool underground compound with all the cool biotechnology gadgets that Batman uses.
A biotech compound is an early-stage chemical that could potentially be developed into a legit medicine you can get at the pharmacy to treat a disease.
After some experimenting with biotech compounds in the drug discovery stage, the gold metal winner moves on to the next stage: drug development. This compound is also called a “lead compound,” since it’s leading the way to a brighter future (maybe).
People smarter than you learn about a disease, figure out what to target in the body to try to treat it, and then create a biotech compound to hit the target. Not only that, but the drug has to be safe for consumption before clinical testing. Save “biotech compound” for your next cocktail party to sound smart.
