"I think the industry is doomed if we don't change." So says Sid Taurel of Eli Lilly.
What's the answer to it's thinning near term pipeline, according to the WSJ?
Biotechnology. As if drug companies have not invested in biotech since it's inception. But biotech has been no more successful in bringing products to market than drug companies, just less profitable in the process. Which is why biotech has escaped government regulation until recently. Government only punishes success. Which is why it is so eager to create a generic biologics industry before a biotech industry really exists.
There are no easy or short term answers. Drug discovery and development is hard and risky. Of course, that's something the hard Left refuses to accept.
