NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Nov 4, 2011) - Shares throughout the biotechnology sector have been exceptionally volatile of late as developments regarding government approvals, litigation and shockingly disappointing earnings elicit large movements in stock prices. The Bedford Report examines the outlook for companies in the biotechnology industry and provides investment research on BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: [ BPAX ]) and AEterna Zentaris, Inc.

This earnings season has been cruel to the biotech industry. Dendreon's announcement that sales of its revolutionary prostate cancer drug, Provenge, have come in significantly below expectations for the year has caused a downward push for the entire sector, as investors abandon shares of firms nearing the launch of other highly anticipated drugs.

On the upside for the industry, analysis by the professional services firm BDO argues that larger Pharmaceutical firms are increasing reliance on biotech companies to fill its pipeline, which has been a net positive for small biotech companies.
