Macro trends in pharmaceutical innovation

Fredric J Cohen. Nat Rev Drug Discov. 2005 Jan.

Abstract

Critics decry the lack of 'truly innovative' new medicines and question the role of the pharmaceutical industry in creating the few that are developed. Is this an accurate portrayal of the state of pharmaceutical innovation? Does major pharma still innovate? If so, how? Must the industry innovate to survive? These and related issues are discussed.
