Notes
The linking of genetic factors to drug response that is at the core of pharmacogenetics has for some time been regarded as a key hope for the drug industry. The structure of the industry, and especially its bases in dedicated SMEs, noncommercial labs and government regulation, is assessed here. The paper argues that it is factors in the demand side that are mostly restricting the segment¿s growth. Dr Hopkins led this study and drafted the paper 80% himself, drawing on data collected and/or prepared by all other authors.Full text available
