These are interesting times for life scientists working in the pharmaceutical industry. By many measures, business is booming. The total drug pipeline has swelled by 15% a year over the past three years, compared to the usual annual rate of 10% to 12%. In 2004, pharma spent a record $38.8 billion on R&D, a 12% increase from 2003. And the industry is gradually shrinking the average time for clinical drug development, from 7.2 years in 1993–1995 to 5.9 years in 1996–1998.
