FOREWORD
The economic slowdown has accentuated the fault lines already dividing the pharmaceutical world. Lack of innovation from the large pharma companies, coupled with the patent expiration precipice, has fueled merger and acquisition activity. The in-licensing deals that mirror this trend have been a positive boon for biotech companies with either promising compounds in their pipeline, or promising platforms – most especially for delivering RANi drugs, or uncovering pathways previously held within the domain of academia only.
As a shadow looming behind this field there have also been dramatic change to U.S. health policy through legislation, and the awakening of the increasingly alluring emerging markets in China and India – still small in comparison - but future engines for high growth.
