There is, in fact, nothing natural or evolutionary about the pharmaceutical giants’ lurch toward small laboratories outside the company. It also isn’t simply a fresh ruse aimed at higher profitability and generating greater shareholder value. Instead, this move reflects a widespread and deep cultural angst about discovery in medical science, going back 50 years, which has combined with an increasing sensitivity to risk-taking. The results are not pretty.
Looking beyond the spin of Big Pharma PR. But encouraging gossip. Come in and confide, you know you want to! “I’ll publish right or wrong. Fools are my theme, let satire be my song.” Email: jackfriday2011(at)hotmail.co.uk
