Did you know?

"Small, nimble biotechs are busy trolling through the reject piles of large pharmaceutical companies, aiming to do more quickly and cheaply what the giants have difficulty doing for themselves – taking a molecule through the critical experiments that will yield proof-of-concept information. A large pharma may spend 4 years and $40 million to reach clinical proof of concept; start-ups try to reach the same point for 50% of the time and 10% of the cost. The small companies claim they can achieve these results by avoiding bureaucracy and politics, allowing them to focus on swift, sharp experiments to identify the winners and eliminate the losers. The typical business model is to in-licence sidelined molecules for the biotech’s own pipeline, but another option is to return the molecule to the pharma, along with proof-of-concept data, in return for an up-front payment and future royalties."
