Fierce Biotech has released its "Top Five Regions Targeting Biotech Companies" for 2007.

This is unquestionably a highly subjective list drawn from the headlines that we scour every day for the FierceBiotech newsletter. It takes a significant amount of attention combined with a lot of potential to make the list. But in the top four you'll find some of the world's most ambitious plans to transform the industry. Number five, Washington, is likely to have a more modest impact simply because it's not nearly as sharply focused on biotech. But starting with some stellar science and ambitious companies, it may achieve more than most would with the same amount of money.

Two of the top picks for 2006 make it again to this year's top biotech clusters: California and Singapore. This year's best biotech hubs in terms of investments on biotech infrastructure are:

• Florida
• Singapore
• California
• Scotland
• Washington
